About the Artist:
Hamilton Tescarollo is the Director of Keyboard Studies at IPFW, where he teaches piano and related areas in addition to maintaining an active concert schedule.
Since his orchestral debut with the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra (OSESP) and conductor Roberto Tibiriçá as a winner of this orchestra’s prestigious Young Soloists National Competition, Tescarollo has performed as a soloist and collaborative artist in the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America. Venues where he has performed include the Museo dos Condes de Castro Guimarães in Portugal, the Orford Festival in Canada, the Phoenix Art Museum, Boston University’s College of Fine Arts Auditorium, and the Teatro Municipal de São Paulo in Brazil. He has also performed as a soloist with a number of orchestras, including the USP Chamber Orchestra, the L’Estro Armonico Orchestra, and members of the Phoenix Symphony. He performs the mainstream as well as the early and avant garde repertory, and also frequently includes the music of Brazil (his native country) and other South American countries in his programs.
A dedicated teacher, he combines the musical and pianistic traditions passed on to him by his teachers with his own discoveries and a student-centered approach which aims at helping young musicians succeed in today’s changing world. Tescarollo received the “Teacher of the Year” award at the 2001 Schimmel-AZ Piano Young Artist Piano Competition, and his students have been prizewinners of many piano contests, including the Phoenix Symphony Guild Concerto Competition, the Chet and Ann Goldberg Young Musicians Competition, the Music Teachers National Association Competition—AZ state round, and the Sewannee Summer Music Center Concerto Competition.
