Soprano Adriana Ruiz began her studies in piano at the age of seven and completed her studies in voice and choral conducting at the Cuban Conservatory of Music “Esteban Salas”. Ruiz was part of the distinguished Cuban choir, Orfeon Santiago, directed by the laureate director, Electo Silva. In this ensemble, Ruiz was featured in recordings as a soloist and lead soprano, and participated in tours around Europe and the Caribbean. As the first prize winner of the 2013 French Song Contest held in Havana, Cuba, she performed in several venues in Paris, France. Ruiz has studied with renowned early music soprano Julianne Baird and lutenist and director of Tempesta di Mare, Richard Stone, at the Amherst Early Music Winter Workshop. At Florida International University (FIU), she studied with Vindhya Khare and performed with the Collegium Musicum, most notably in the lead role in John Blow’s Venus and Adonis. She has frequently performed with lutenist David Dolata at FIU and in the community on behalf of the Miami Bach Society. In addition to her performances of Renaissance and Baroque music, Ruiz performs Medieval music, while accompanying herself on the Medieval harp.

He has commissioned new works for harpsichord from composer Steven Long, with pieces premiered at ISSUE Project Room (NYC) in 2005 and 2009. Katz was a recipient of the Frank Huntington Beebe Fund award in 2013-14. He spent the year in London as an Early Career Research Associate at the Institute of Musical Research, University of London, studying partimento manuscripts in the British Library.

La más grande compositora del barroco
Música exquisita, cierto? Muchas gracias por dedicar tiempo, y ver el concierto. Agradecida!
This is so inspiring!!
So many thanks, Martin!
Gorgeous Adriana! So happy to have found your gorgeous renditions of these pieces!
Thank you, sweet Emma!
Beautiful voice but she sings « il martiro » with such happiness and joy as if she doesn’t understand what she is singing.
And… what if she finds joy in it? I think, that’s valid too! :)
