Artist Bios Finalists Concert: Aeolian Classics Emerging Artist Competition

Pablo Suaste Cherizola

Pablo Suaste CherizolaPianist Pablo Suaste Cherizola’s elegant and virtuosic artistry has led him to be recognized as a rising star in the music world. In January 2017, Mr. Suaste won the Aeolian Classics Emerging Artist Award at the Chicago College of Performing Arts; as a result, he will record a debut solo album to be released in 2017 on Aeolian Classics. As the Aeolian Classics Emerging Artist Award winner, he will also perform as soloist in a seven-concert tour of Chicago.

Past performance highlights include recitals at important concert venues in Mexico, such as the Fine Arts Palace, Hidalgo Concert Hall of Colima, Teatro Ocampo in Morelos, Blas Galindo Concert hall, and the Cultural Center “Roberto Cantoral.” His budding performance career has also brought him to American cities including Dallas, Chicago, and New York.

Pablo Suaste Cherizola regularly performs chamber music with his father, the acclaimed baritone Jesús Suaste. Mr. Suaste is a recipient of fellowships from various prestigious institutions such as SIVAM, INBA, FONCA, and “Amigos de la Musica A.C.”

Born in Mexico City in 1993, Mr. Suaste began his studies at the age of 14 at the “Centro Morelense de las Artes” under the tutelage of professor Alejandro Vigo. Subsequent piano studies included working with Anatoly Zatin and Vlada Vassilieva (PETROF DUO) at the University of Colima, and with Gustavo Rivero Weber (a student of Jorge Bolet at the Curtis Institute of music) in Mexico City.

He has performed in master classes for celebrity artists including Lang Lang, Boris Berman, Jean Dubé, Pavlina Dokovska, Eva Maria Zuk, and Martin Katz, among others.

Mr. Suaste is an undergraduate piano performance major at the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, studying with Jorge Federico Osorio.
