Ingrid Fliter is an Argentinean pianist who began her formal piano studies with Elizabeth Westerkamp. She debuted in the recital at 11 and only five years later she performed her first concerto at the Teatro Colón. In 1992, following the advice of Martha Argerich, Fliter moved to Europe to continue her studies with Vitalj Margulis at the Hochschule fur Musik, Freiburg, and later with Carlo Bruno in Rome, and with Franco Scala and Boris Petrushansky at the Academy Incontri col Maestro, Imola. She has participated in master classes with Leon Fleisher, Alexander Lonquich and Louis Lortie; Zoltan Kocsis is considered as her mentor. Fliter won several competitions both in Argentina and in Europe, including the first prize at the Cantu International Competition and fourth prize at the Ferruccio Busoni Competition in Italy. In 2000, she was awarded the silver medal at the International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, Poland. Fliter was the fifth recipient, and the first woman awarded with the 2006 Gilmore Artist Award. She was entitled a New Generation Artist by the BBC Radio 3 in 2007-2009. Fliter made her American debut as the featured soloist with the Warsaw Philharmonic and Kazimierz Kord in January/February 2002, however her first concerto appearance with American Atlanta Symphony Orchestra was in January 2006. �Chopin's music has been one of the great standards of the classical repertoire for generations, and many audiences have enjoyed hearing it played well; however, and especially in this unique class of the art, there is to be found a rare, untouchable nuance that speaks directly to the heart," as Fliter says, �and it is truly an extremely rare artist who can well demonstrate this treasure.� She is in love with her work, and it is her love that gives life to her art, so much appreciated by the public.
