A Paraguayan Talent, Berta Rojas
Berta Rojas is currently one of the most famous Paraguayan classic guitar musician, I wish I can see her life on day SOON!
She is playing the Cathedral by Agustin Barrios (Mangore) as a background you can see the actual Cathedral of Asuncion which is superb! it is located in downtown Asuncion.
Berta Rojas is a musician who moves easily from classical to other musical genres. Rojas has captivated music-lovers in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Most notably, she’s appeared at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall and the Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York. She sold out her performances at both the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and the South Bank Centre in London. In 2004, she opened the International First Ladies Summit in Paraguay with special guest Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Praised by the Washington Post as a “guitarist extraordinaire,” and by England’s Classical Guitar Magazine as “Ambassador of the Classical Guitar,” her musicianship and cordiality make her an audience favorite.
The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has recognized Rojas’ artistic excellence and named her a Fellow of the Americas. She holds a Master’s Degree in Music from Baltimore’s prestigious Peabody Conservatory.
Beyond her own musical talents, Rojas is committed to supporting South American artists. She has served as the Artistic Director for several competitions including the John and Susie Beatty Competition, the Ibero-American Guitar Festival in Washington DC, and the Cardozo Ocampo Competition in Paraguay. She is Paraguay’s Ambassador of Tourism and a Professor of Guitar at George Washington University in Washington DC.
