We are thrilled to announce that an anonymous donor has offered to sponsor the Josu Okiñena piano master class and concert.
General admission tickets will now be FREE OF CHARGE for the CEA Community.
For scheduling reasons, the concert and master class will now be combined into a shorter lecture demo. Select piano students and the CEA Senior Voice Ensemble will perform. Mr. Okiñena will end the lecture demo with a short concert program.
Attendance is mandatory for piano students in Piano Level II and above.
Parents, families, friends, and students are encouraged to attend to learn from this wonderful pianist and enjoy his music TOGETHER as a community.
Mr. Okiñena has won numerous awards for his interpretation, performance, and extensive research of Spanish music. Okiñena is the Research Coordinator at Musikene, the Higher School of Music of the Basque Country, and has a doctorate from the University of Valladolid. After winning first prizes at the San Sebastián Conservatory for both piano and chamber music, he went on to study with Félix Lavilla. He continued his studies at The Juilliard School in New York and in London, where he took part in master classes by such esteemed musicians as Krystian Zimerman, Bruno Leonardo Gelber and Ivo Pogorelich. He also took regular classes with Maria Curcio, herself a pupil of the legendary pianist Artur Schnabel. Having assimilated all these influences and combined them, creating his own highly personal style, Mr. Okiñena is now admired in concert halls all over the world. Learn More About Okiñena
