Master Class with Spanish Pianist, Marta Espinós
Tuesday, December 11, 2012 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Teaching students the art of piano technique and musicality from a European/Spanish perspective, Spanish concert pianist, Marta Espinós, will conduct a master class for three University of St. Thomas piano students at 5 p.m. on Dec. 11 in Cullen Hall. The students will perform for Espinós while receiving her critiques and valuable lessons for improvement.
Espinós is an active searcher of new formulas in order to make classical and contemporary music more approachable and enjoyable to all audiences. Although her repertoire spans from 17th century to contemporary music, Espinós specializes in the period least explored at the modern piano: the Baroque.
Dr. Glenn Garrido, chair of the UST Music Department, said the master class is possible thanks to the Embassy of Spain in Houston, the UST Department of Music and International Studies.
“Interactions like this one help everyone involved to expand and enhance professional references and relationships that are vital for international exchanges,” Garrido said.
Espinós explores the repertoire from a cross-disciplinary perspective, aiming at revealing unconventional aspects of music through lecture concerts, workshops for non-musicians, audiovisual and multimedia shows, thematic recitals and other stage recipes combining the arts.
