Eduardo Delgado, piano

Eduardo Delgado's appearances have spread across four continents - Europe, South America, Asia, and North America. International audiences and critics alike have consistently recognized the fiery intensity that Delgado projects from the stage. His repertoire from Bach to modern composers shows that music affects Delgado deeply, emotion that he shares freely with his audiences. "Music has been my life and my passion since my first recital when I was seven," Delgado says.

Born in Rosario, Argentina, Eduardo Delgado began his early training with his mother, Amelia, followed by studies with Arminda Canteros in Rosario, and then continued with Sergio Lorenzi in Venice, Vicente Scaramuzza in Buenos Aires, Dora Zaslavsky of the Manhattan School of Music, and the renowned piano pedagogue, Rosina Lhevinne of the Juilliard School. His many awards and prizes include the Vladimir Horowitz Award, grants from the Mozarteum Argentino and Martha Baird Rockefeller and the Concert Artists Guild.

Delgado has participated on international competition juries, and has had artist faculty positions at several universities in Japan as well as in California. He is currently on the faculty at California State University in Fullerton, where he has established an endowed scholarship fund for talented pianists as a tribute to the renowned pianist, Madame Alicia de Larrocha. He is also the pianist of the Premier Trio of the university.

Delgado has recorded with tenor Jose Cura for ERATO Records and also the complete solo piano music of Alberto Ginastera in two volumes for MA Records in Tokyo. In July 1997, pianist Martha Argerich presented Delgado at the Verbier Festival in Switzerland, and invited him to judge her international competition in 2002.

In August 1999, Delgado was awarded a medal by UNESCO of Buenos Aires, and also by the Mayor of Rosario, Delgado's hometown, for his contribution as an ambassador of music.

Delgado founded the Castle Green Historic & Cultural Society in Pasadena, California, where he resides.
