Estela Olevsky: Piano Gems from the Americas

“Piano Gems from the Americas” will present a musical travelogue consisting of salon pieces from Argentina, Brasil, Cuba, Mexico, and the USA. Written by master composers such as Carlos Guastavino, Alberto Ginastera, Ernesto Nazareth, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Ernesto Lecuona, and William Bolcom these works bring together the different ethnic qualities that give Latin American its own special flavor.

A native of Buenos Aires, pianist Estela Kersenbaum Olevsky has performed on five continents and collaborated with many distinguished instrumental and vocal soloists as well as diverse chamber music groups such as Berlin Philharmonic Festival Players, the Lark Quartet, the Olewsky Trio, and the Bach Festival in Buenos Aires under the direction of Karl Richter. She has appeared as a soloist with numerous symphony orchestras in North and South America. In the USA she has performed at the Kennedy Center, Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Hall, and Weill Hall.
