Mexican pianist Ana Gabriela Fernández was trained in Havana and at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. She has a strong commitment to contemporary music, combined with deep musicological and cultural reflection. She has appeared as a soloist with major orchestras in Mexico and has collaborated with internationally renowned pianists such as Maria João Pires, Gabriela Montero, and Lilya Zilberstein, and was admitted to the École Normale de Musique de Paris, where she studied with Pierre Réach. Alongside her performance career, Fernández has developed a significant body of musicological research. Her work has been recognized with two Cubadisco Awards and focuses especially on Julián Orbón and the Cuban Musical Renewal Group. She has published essays and cultural criticism in Letras Libres, Nexos, and Tierra Adentro, where she explores the intersections between music, literature, and Latin American thought. She recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Philological Research at UNAM. She is based in Paris, where she continues to expand her international career through concerts, lectures, and academic collaborations, while pursuing further studies in French language and literature at Sorbonne University.
