Marianela Santurio’s diverse and elegant artistry has earned her international acclaim. Endowed with an unusual combination of gifts, her broad repertoire ranges from the classics to the contemporary. Widely acclaimed as an ambassador of today's music, Santurio has been heralded by the Spanish press as a "pianist with perfect stylistic command, prodigious technique and musicality and a firm interpretive commitment" (Luis Hidalgo Martin, Norte de Castilla).

A great believer in the words of her mentor, Claudio Arrau, "We never stop learning, our life is a fountain of knowledge that must be continuously fed", Santurio receives coaching from German Diez, a disciple of Arrau.

An exponent of the Spanish classical masters as well, Santurio has received high praises for her interpretations of Granados, Albeniz and rarely performed masterpieces such as the Chopin Variations by Mompou, once again brought to life by Ms. Santurio.
