As part of a visit organized by the Cultural Office of the U.S. Embassy, the talented Argentine-American pianist Mirian Conti gave a concert and master class for 100 guests at the Ambassador’s residence last night. Mirian played a repertoire including a selection of classic and contemporary Argentine and American composers and alternated her performance with interesting comments.

“Mirian Conti’s extraordinary talent and warmth enabled all the guests present to travel through the different stages in piano evolution. It was a pleasure to enjoy the rich repertoire of Argentine and American composers by the hand of such a prestigious artist,” said Ambassador Vilma Martinez following the concert.
