Mirian Conti
Pianist Mirian Conti has championed the music of the Americas but has performed a wide variety of music worldwide. She is also an educator who has often been active in the medium of the lecture-recital.
Conti was born in Corrientes in northeast Argentina. She studied piano and general music in Buenos Aires, but she then moved to the U.S., where she earned both bachelor's and master's degrees from the Juilliard School in New York. She studied with Richard Fabre, Josef Raieff, and Byron Janis, among others. Conti has observed that her training in Argentina emphasized mostly the works of European masters, and her acquaintance with Argentine music, specifically tango, occurred only after she moved to New York. Conti was named one of Juilliard's 100 Outstanding Alumni during the 2005-2006 school year, and in 2007, she joined the faculty of the school's evening division. She has given recitals at Alice Tully Hall and Carnegie Hall in New York and Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles, among other top venues, and she has appeared as a concerto soloist on five continents. Conti has given lecture-recitals and masterclasses on the music of Spain at Oberlin College, the Eastman School of Music, and the López Buchardo National Conservatory in Buenos Aires, among other institutions. She often serves on competition juries, and she has created two competitions of her own, I Certamen Musical Rioplatense in Buenos Aires and the New York City International Tango Competition for classical musicians.
Conti has a distinctive catalog of more than 15 albums, dating back to the collection Gypsy Dances on the PolyGram label in 1988. Many of her albums involve Argentine repertory, but she also recorded an album of Chopin's Mazurkas for the Steinway & Sons label in 2011; she has gone on to record two more albums of Argentine music for that label. Many of her recordings feature the music of little-known composers, both those pursuing contemporary idioms and those working in popular-influence genres. Conti has recorded for Toccata Classics, Koch International, and Albany, among other labels. In 2017, she moved to Grand Piano for an album of music by Lalo Schifrin, and in 2021, she issued Tangorama: An Anthology of 20th Century Tango, Vol. 1, on that label.
