Santiago Pizarro Gómez-Sánchez is not yet 25-years old and with just having started his formal musical education at the age of 15 was admitted to Juilliard School, one of the most prestigious art schools in the world.
Many consider him as the successor of the tenor Juan Diego Flórez because of the success he has already achieved nationally and internationally.
“Santiago began his lyrical singing studies at the Faculty of Performing Arts of the PUCP and moved to the renowned Oberlin College & Conservatory (Ohio) in the United States. His interpretation of Guglielmo in the opera “Viva La Mamma” by Donizetti earned him the qualification of outstanding by the famous critic Daniel Hathaway”, wrote Via Expresa.
He’s had important tutors, such as Robert F. White and Juan Diego Flórez himself. He also won first place of the most important lyrical singing contest in Peru, organized by Radio Filarmonía, which led him to be invited to an international event organized by the Corporación Cultural Viña del Mar.
The Julliard School, located in New York, is a very demanding institution whose admission rate reaches only 6% of the applicants and where music, dance, and theater are studied. Santiago was chosen from 6,000 applicants and he will be studying the opera master’s degree.
