Rosabel Choi, pianist
Pianist Rosabel Choi’s approach to the study of music is enriched by a broad educational background, and she maintains a eclectic interest in writing, composition, and literature. Her exploration of music has moved towards gathering the elements of her music training to create an identity that reflects the many cultural streams that resonate deeply within. From hiphop to minimalism to tango and Bach, Rosabel’s work is constantly in search of relevance and creating unexpected ways to communicate to audiences. During degrees from Oberlin and Calgary, she received top awards, including the Dean's Talent award, Rudolph Serkin scholarship, Kiwanis Rose Bowl, University of Calgary Open Scholarship, and Roslyn McCowan Award. After her graduate degree, Rosabel was an artist-in-residence at the Banff Centre in Canada, where she collaborated and studied with artists from across North America and the world including the St. Lawrence String Quartet, Anton Kuerti and Henk Guittart. Rosabel is in the doctoral degree program at Arizona State University, studying piano with Dean Kwang-Wu Kim. She is an active performer as the pianist in the Silver Line trio and the Mash Potangos. The Silver Line recently returned from a tour in Arizona, and they are working on their next recording project in Toronto. Rosabel plays also plays with the Mash Potangos, an ensemble that draws from the passion and desire of tango and other Latin American forms to create a stimulating sound-art performance. She recently returned from a winter residency at the Banff Centre with the Mash Potangos, where they prepared a recording EP release and upcoming shows in Montreal.Rosabel's website
