Alejandro Vera (Pianist) Cultural Ambassador of Piederas Negras, Mexico
・"An extraordinary talent... in addition to his brilliant technique, he has an innate musicality." Christoph Eschenbach
・"The Magician of the Keyboard" Kiev Post
A representative Mexican pianist active on the world stage. His playing creates a mysterious and magnificent world, inviting the audience into a world of refined beauty. His deep expressiveness, full of emotion, evokes vivid scenes in the audience, as if they were watching a movie. None other than Alejandro. Vera's world of music.
From an early age, he studied piano under his mother, Hortensia Vera Mante. Later, he studied under pianist and composer Robert Avalon in Texas. For four years, from the age of 11 to 15, he would go to Texas, America, to study piano, with his mother driving him every Sunday, with his passport in hand. As a teenager, she was discovered by the famous pianist and conductor Maestro Christoph Eschenbach and Zarin Mehta (Zubin Mehta's brother and music producer), and performed with the Maestro in an orchestra and with the Four Hands. Following the advice of Maestro Eschenbach, she entered the Juilliard School in New York. She studied under Yohebe Kaplinsky and obtained her bachelor's and master's degrees. She won the Juilliard School's soloist competition and was awarded the Susan Rose Music Foundation Award for two consecutive years. She also gave master classes at the University of Zacatecas in Mexico, Taiwan, and universities in Europe. In Mexico, she has performed at concerts and festivals at cultural facilities in Mexico, including the National Center for Arts in Mexico City, and has also toured Europe and Asia internationally, receiving acclaim for her outstanding performances.
She has been on a full-scale tour of Japan since the fall of 2012, performing in Nagoya, Kyoto, Okayama, Gunma, Hiroshima, and Okinawa. In Tokyo, she has frequently performed at the Tokyo National Museum, the Italian Cultural Institute, the Cervantes Center, the Mexican Ambassador's Residence, and other venues. She also appeared on NHK BS1's "El Mundo" and was well-received. In April 2014, under the direction of 12-time Grammy Award winner Rafa Sardina, she recorded a grand piano concerto with a Czech orchestra on the theme of Middle East peace in the Czech Republic. The concert will have its world premiere in Mexico in 2019.
