CapRadio Classical and Jazz is celebrating women in music all month long by featuring a different classical composer every weekday. Today's spotlight is on Teresa Carreño (1853-1917).
  • Teresa Carreño was a pianist, singer, composer, and conductor who became an internationally renowned pianist known as the "Valkyrie of the Piano." 
  • Born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1853, Teresa received her first music lessons from her father who was from a musical family. 
  • When her family emigrated to New York in 1862, American pianist and composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk promoted her; in turn, she composed and dedicated to him her "Gottschalk Waltz."
  • Between 1863-1865 Carreño performed across Cuba and the United States including in 1863 for Abraham Lincoln at the White House (and there again in 1916 for Woodrow Wilson). 
  • In 1866 her family brought her to Paris where she toured for the next six years across Europe and met and studied with such famous names as Gioachino Rossini, Charles Gounod and Franz Liszt.
  • She returned to the US in 1872 and in years thereafter performed as a singer and pianist around the world, married and had children and taught, including American pianist and composer Edward MacDowell.
  • Carreño composed approximately 75 works for solo piano, voice and piano, choir and orchestra, and instrumental ensemble. 
  • The many composers who dedicated their compositions to Carreño include Amy Beach (Piano Concerto in C-sharp minor) and Edward MacDowell (Piano Concerto No. 2).
  • Teresa Carreño died in New York in 1917 at the age of 63.
  • After Carreño began playing the Grieg Piano Concerto in her concerts, she began years of congenial correspondence with Grieg and he put her at the top of his list of requested soloists to perform his Piano Concerto in A-minor, which is today's Midday Masterpiece (with soloist Noriko Ogawa).
