Argentine/American pianist, Yamaha artist, and series curator Mirian Conti, based in New York City, is a musician whose performances combine technical brilliance with striking originality and artistic insight. Stylistically assured in a wide range of repertoire, Ms. Conti’s prolific recording output and international concerts have garnered praise and awards. In recognition of her extraordinary talent, a scholarship honoring Mirian Conti was established at The Juilliard School by the Edwin Bachman Estate. In addition, she was selected as one of the “100 Outstanding Alumni” to celebrate The Juilliard School's Centennial in 2005-6.

Her latest CD, Children’s World, recorded at Yamaha Salon in NYC, has been released on the Albany label (Troy 1642). The Steinway & Sons label has released her recordings of the complete Chopin Mazurkas (CD 3003), Nostalgias Argentinas (CD 30010) and Panorama Argentino (CD 30023). She has also recorded for Parnassus, Koch International Classics, XLNT and Toccata Classics. Much more about her at http://www.mirianconti.com.
