Fast Pitch Prize Winner

Music Academy solo piano fellow Priscila Navarro is the $5,000 grand prize winner of the Innovation Institution’s 2023 Fast Pitch competition.

Her new venture, Peru Piano, an anthology for inclusive education, was one of eight stellar pitches evaluated by a distinguished jury – Angelica Cortez, Executive Director Suzuki Association of the Americas; Music Academy alumnae Brenda Patterson, co-founder of Victory Hall Opera and Singtank; and Michael Suttle, technology executive.

Among the criteria was the impact and how she addressed challenges and needs to enhance the classical music ecosystem.
