The 5th Annual Trester Festival will feature lecture recitals and other events centered around Latin American piano music presented by internationally renowned guest artists and University of Arizona students.

The 5th Annual Trester Festival for Latin American Piano Music will feature a variety of events (solo piano recital, workshop, competition, and two master classes) that highlight music from across Latin America, with a particular focus this year on the music of Argentina, Brazil, and the U.S. We have invited two distinguished guest artists to share their artistry and expertise with our community: Ms. Daniela Salinas (Superior Conservatory of Music of Buenos Aires) and Dr. Oscar Macchioni (University of North Texas).

The Trester Festival also features a solo piano competition for current UA School of Music piano performance majors, where students are required to perform one or more Latin American piano works as part of their program.
