Appreciations
“My young student Marieva Dávila shows in her pianist project the rare successful combination of performer and composer. Her performance of classical works shows her talent for lyrical and melodic expression, different from the usual exhibitions of cold technique that are usually appreciated in these performances of academic composers. On the other hand, her creativity as a composer reflects once again the great sensitivity of this young pianist for whom I envision a great future. “
