Myriam Avalos Teie’s performances throughout the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Asia have earned her critical acclaim as a soloist and chamber musician for her passion and power, expression and sensitivity. Her appearances and broadcasts include the Phillips Collection, the Kennedy Center, the Dumbarton Concert Series, the Purcell Room in London, the Royal Academy of music in Stockholm, the Voice of the OAS, the Victoria Festival, WGMS radio, Teatro Municipal de Lima and two State Department-sponsored tours of China and Brazil. Ms. Avalos gave her first public performance at the age of three and, shortly thereafter, was admitted to the National Conservatory of Music in her native city of Lima, Peru. She made her orchestra debut with the National Symphony Orchestra of Peru at the age of twelve and was awarded full scholarships to the Eastman School of Music and the Peabody Conservatory. A special grant from the Organization of American States allowed her to continue her studies in the United States with renowned pianists Frank Glazer, Ellen Mack, Menahem Pressler, and Harvey Wedeen, and in Europe, with Hungarian pianist Louis Kentner. In 1999she earned a doctorate degree from The Catholic University of America, where she furthered her studies in piano and chamber music with the distinguished pianist Marilyn Neeley. Dr. Avalos performs with the National Symphony orchestra as an adjunct pianist, and is a faculty member and performing artist at the Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music Summer Festival. She is currently pursuing a busy concert season in the United States and South America. In January of 2004, Dr. Avalos was conferred the title of Cultural Ambassador by the government of Peru.
