Andrea Gonzalez - Salvado: Piano Works (2022)

The pianist Andrea González recovers the music of the Spanish monk Rosendo Salvado (Tui, 1814 - Rome, 1900), founder of the only monastic city in Australia and a pioneer in the defense of human rights of the aborigines. An eclectic character who negotiated with kings and popes, he lived with indigenous tribes and considered music the epicenter of his mission.

This show presents the figure of Rosendo Salvado through his music and life with the piano performance of Andrea González accompanied in two numbers by the soprano Leonor Bonilla.

Andrea González, chosen among the Top 100 Women Leaders in Spain, has performed in auditoriums such as the Milton Court Concert Hall in London, the National Theater in Havana, the Amici del Loggione room at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan or the Australian National University. She teaches masterclasses and is a judge of piano competitions such as Orbetello Piano Competition, Great Masters Piano Competition or Santa Cecilia International Competition in Porto.

In the field of music management, she is the founder and director of the International Keyboard Festival & Masterclass (IKFEM Festival) of the Eurociudad Tui-Valença and Vice-president of Juventudes Musicales de España. In 2021, she presented the album with Rosendo Salvado's piano compositions for the Warner Music label with the collaborations of the soprano Leonor Bonilla and the designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada.
