Maria Angeles Cuevas

She was born in Geneva. With both parents being opera singers, her background was necessarily artistic and musical.

She graduated in both, piano and musical introduction and education from the Geneva Music Academy (Conservatoire de Genève). Prize winner of a contest organized by the Young Swiss Musicians Foundation, she obtained a scholarship from the International Piano Foundation “Ciem-Mozart” which enabled her to study with Professor Fausto Zadra. Then, she took further training periods with Professor Victor Merzanov from the Moscow Conservatoire and Professor Claude Pennetier from the National Superior Paris Conservatoire.

Maria-Angeles is particularly fond of experiencing the combination between music, poetry and visual elements. In 2010, in collaboration with Elidan Arzoni (actor and director) she created “A trip to the heart of Spanish soul”, a show which brings together poetry and music.
