Nancy Roldán

Acclaimed an “excellent pianist” and admired for her ability to “breathe life into the score,” Argentine born pianist Nancy Roldán has concertized worldwide interpreting solo, chamber music, and repertory with orchestras. She has performed USA premieres of the works of Carlos Guastavino, whose music she championed since her early career, recording for piano solo, two pianos, and violin/piano duos. In 2020, inspired by the life and music of Carlos Guastavino, and supported by a group of kindred spirits, Roldán founded the Sonus International Music Festival and Sonus, a collective of international artists dedicated to the diffusion of the music of Carlos Guastavino and to the endorsement and presentations of other creative endeavors rooted in the universal spirit of folk traditions. Dr. Roldán retired from teaching at the Peabody Conservatory at Johns Hopkins 2007.
