On Sunday, October 27, young Mexican pianist Daniela Liebman, barely eleven years old, received a standing ovation for her debut in New York's Carnegie Hall, where she participated in a concert offered by the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony.
The young prodigy from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, offered a piano solo during the gala which took place in one of the most important halls in the United States and the world. Under the direction of David Bernard, Liebman demonstrated her great talent in interpreting Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2, detailed Mexican newspaper Excélsior.
In an interview with the newspaper, Daniela pointed out that performing in Carnegie Hall was a dream come true, something she worked towards with dedication for a long time, but that she never imagined she would experience at eleven years of age.
Through her Twitter account, Mexico's Consul General in New York, Sandra Fuentes, acknowledged the young pianist's talent, and shared pictures showing the pride of Mexico, a talented young pianist succeeding in one of the most important cities in the world.
