Hello! I’m Mariana
Pianist & Filmmaker
I am a Spanish pianist, composer, filmmaker, and performer based in Gothenburg, Sweden. I grew up studying music & dance and this is shown in my interest in inter-relating both fields. After finishing the superior studies of piano and dance, I started to work on the connections between music and different arts.
For the last twelve years, I have specialized in playing for dance classes and creating music & dance films.
Currently, I’m also working on creating online courses for pianists. More information coming soon…
