Natalia González Figueroa

Pianist Natalia González Figueroa has specialized in promoting the music of her native Argentina. She has concertized across South America and in several European countries. González Figueroa was born in Buenos Aires in 1979. She began piano lessons at age seven. In 1989, she began studies at the Carlos López Buchardo National Conservatory with Laly Escobar. González Figueroa continued to work with Escobar at the National University of Argentina, earning piano and music education degrees. After winning several scholarships from granting entities in Spain, Italy, and Argentina, she headed for Europe and undertook further studies with Alberto Portugheis in London, Luca Chiantore in Valencia, Spain, and Gábor Eckhardt at the International Bartók Seminar and Festival in 2004. Her Italian scholarship enabled her to study chamber music at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia with Rocco Filippini in 2008. She has been an enthusiastic chamber music player, founding the Kovacz-González Duo (saxophone and piano), the Kaunissimo Duo (cello and piano), the Rivas/González contemporary tango duo, and the Artemise Quartet in Buenos Aires. She also performed in chamber orchestras in Spain and Italy. González Figueroa launched her solo career in the mid-2000s, touring Colombia with conductor Régulo Stabilito in eight appearances with various orchestras in 2006, and she later mounted a similar tour in Venezuela. González Figueroa has also appeared in Brazil, Spain, Italy, France, and England, and at home in Argentina, she has performed at major venues, including the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires. Many of her concerts feature Argentine music, including that by living composers, and she has issued recorded music in the same vein; her album Concierto Tango included tango-inspired music by contemporary Argentine composers. In 2023, González Figueroa and flutist Tanja Esther von Arx recorded the Suite de Buenos Aires para piano y flauta of Claudia Montero, which earned a Latin Grammy Award nomination for Best Contemporary Classical Composition.
