Artist Bio
Patricia García Gil is Artist in Residence at the Cornell Center for Historical Keyboards and Postdoctoral Associate at Cornell University. She serves on the faculty of the Cambridge Center for International Research, teaching and mentoring in programs that bridge historical performance with global, cross-disciplinary inquiry. Patricia has received top honors in numerous international piano and fortepiano competitions, and her artistic career has led to concert tours across Europe, the United States, and Latin America. Through her repertoire choices and research, she strives to illuminate overlooked musicking practices and to reach audiences who rarely connect with classical music. Patricia has been named Early Music Seattle and Early Music America Emerging Artist, appeared as soloist with the Smithsonian Academy Orchestra and Ars Lyrica, performed at the Berkeley and Bloomington Early Music Festivals, and released a critically acclaimed album featuring the complete piano works of Pauline Viardot. Patricia also contributes actively to the professional community, serving on the Board of Directors of the Historical Keyboard Society of North America and the Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies. She co-hosts the International Fortepiano Salon, a global monthly online forum dedicated to inclusive dialogue about fortepiano culture, and co-directs HerClassical, an extensive open-access resource amplifying the contributions of women composers.
