About this user

Keyla Orozco (born in Santiago de Cuba) received professional music education since the age of 8. She started with Piano as a main subject at the 'Esteban Salas' Conservatory in her city of birth, under the solid tradition of the Russian School. In 1988 she obtained her diploma in piano pedagogy and performance at the 'Escuela Nacional de Artes' (ENA) in Havana, under the guidance of professor Yleana Bautista. Later, she studied composition at the 'Instituto Superior de Arte' in Havana with the Cuban composer Harold Gramatges (awarded the Iberian-American Music Prize Tomás Luis de Victoria in year 2000), obtaining her Bachelor degree in 1993. Between 1995-98 she followed advanced composition studies in The Netherlands with the outstanding Dutch composer Theo Loevendie, for which the 'Koninklijk Conservatorium' in The Hague granted her a scholarship. These studies were finished at the 'Conservatorium van Amsterdam'.

Established in The Netherlands as an independent artist since 1995, she currently realizes all her music activities through her own enterprise, in which creation and education play the main roll. The last 10 years her artistic career has been focused in composing, teaching, and producing inter-disciplinary events.

Orozco's compositional work has been awarded among others with the prestigious Guggenheim and the Cintas Fellowships, both by USA-based Institutions. She has received numerous commissions to write for outstanding Dutch musicians and ensembles such as: Nederlands Kamerkoor, Nederlands Fluitorkest, Asko ensemble, De Ereprijs, Nieuw Ensemble, Combustion Chamber, De Ereprijs, Ricciotti Ensemble and many others. Her works have been performed in numerous events around the world, in places such as Carnegie Hall, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Carré Theater, Muziekgebouw aan het Ij, Bimhuis, among many others. International musicians have made CD recordings of her music, and publications of her scores are available at Muziek Centrum Nederland (Donemus), Amsterdam and through her own company.

Her teaching career started in 1993 as a professor of Counterpoint at the 'Instituto Superior de Arte' in Havana. Since 1996 she has been working in the Netherlands both at institutions and privately, giving Piano, Composition and Music Theory lessons among others. In 2002 she became assistant professor of Composition in the class of professor Theo Loevendie at the 'Conservatorium van Amsterdam'. Currently, she is focused on children music education. Besides teaching Piano at the British School in The Netherlands, she has developed her own educational project in Amsterdam. Keyla Orozco Junior Music Club (KOJMC) is based on the learning of Piano, offering complementary courses of Ear training/ Music Theory and Ensemble Coaching.

After organizing diverse inter-disciplinary events in Cuba and Holland, she co-founded in 2004 the 'Stichting PerpetuumM' , a foundation to promote Latin-American art and culture in The Netherlands. Festival 'Q-ba Música' (2004) and Series 'Latijns-Amerikaanse componisten aan het ij' (2006-07) were projects co-directed and produced by Keyla Orozco within this enterprise, in which she worked till 2008. Her curiosity for exploring Latin-American folk rhythms and the idea of integrating them into her compositional work, leaded her to a field-research on the traditional Venezuelan/ Colombian Music known as "Música Llanera'. She traveled to Venezuela in 2006 for this purpose, subsidized by the Fonds Podiumkunsten (Performing Art Fund) in The Netherlands. As a result, her later compositions have been strongly influenced by this music, being the case of 'Estudio del Pajarillo', 'Habanera en Pajarillo voor de gestolen fiets', 'Met de schoenen' and 'Piezas de Bolsillo'.
