Rosalía Gómez Lasheras, pianist
Enjoy a candlelight concert by Spanish pianist Rosalía Gómez Lasheras while surrounded by the Meadows Museum’s seventeenth-century paintings. Born in Santiago de Compostela in 1994, Gómez Lasheras began her piano studies at age five. After winning the 2013 Young Pianist Foundation Competition in Amsterdam, she debuted as a soloist in halls across Europe and beyond, including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht, Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, Cairo Opera House, Konzerthaus Dortmund, and Herkulessaal in Munich. She has lectured on nineteenth-century performance practices at several European universities and was a guest professor at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt Weimar, where she taught historically informed performance. In 2015, at the age of twenty, she was named Galician of the Year by the newspaper El Correo Gallego in recognition of her outstanding career and artistic maturity. Since 2021 she has been Assistant Professor of Chamber Music at the Hochschule für Musik Basel. This program is offered in collaboration with the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in Washington, DC, and the Department of Piano Studies in the Meadows School of the Arts.
