HI STEEMIANS, greetings to all here. Let me introduce myself, my name is Isabella Lo Bianco and I am 19 years old. I am a Venezuelan pianist, it is a pleasure for me to share a bit of my story with you. 
When I was 3 years old, I had the good fortune to enter my first piano chair, thanks to my father, because thanks to him, I was able to know this magical world of music. Simultaneously, when I was 6 years old I joined the children's orchestra of Sucre state, when I was 9 I auditioned in the "Escuela de Música Mozarteum" in Caracas, I had the opportunity to present myself in several concerts of that school and participate in the X National Piano Competition "Silvia Eisenstein" II Level.
To my parents, it was very difficult to go with me every 15 days to the capital to receive piano lessons, but it was never an impediment. That is how we opted for the decision to take classes in the Chair of Piano ¨Santa Cecilia¨ In Maturín- Monagas State, for me it was a very nice and pleasant experience to participate in such majestic concerts.
(my first concert)
When i was 12, I had the great honor of presenting my first concert with the Symphony Orchestra of the Sucre State. Haydn Concert for Piano No. 11 in D major.
I auditioned at the Music Conservatory ¨Simón Bolívar¨, in which I studied only two years, because for intimate family reasons, it was a little difficult to travel to the capital, that's when I decided to take a break and continue my musical studies in my Cumaná hometown.
(Teacher: David Ascanio)
Any classical musician knows how difficult it is to prepare independently without the help of a teacher, because that is my current position for 5 years. Thank God my father has helped me not to give up and to continue fighting for my dreams. During that time I decided to create a YouTube channel, here is the link of my last video:
It was like that when in 2015 the idea of concerts organized by me arose. To summarize it, I had the pleasure of presenting several concerts of Chamber Music with different soloists, with instruments such as the violin, clarinet and horn. This year (2018) with the great support of splendid people, I was able to realize and to organize the Concert ¨Disney, the musical magic¨. An experience that I will never forget.
Two years ago, I got many opportunities to play in bands, which I totally rejected at first, it was crazy coming from someone who only played classical music, but then I took a chance and I gave myself the opportunity to know this world, in one of these I accepted only to "experience", which was something I never thought I would do ... I had the opportunity to belong in groups such as: "Without Censorship", "Acoustic Sense", "Indeleble", "No-3".
Within those groups I met many unique people, I made very nice friendships, among those people is someone very special, my partner @samjgonz, together we started a project called ¨Is On the keys¨ here I leave our first cover on youtube:
DANCING, has become a hobby for me, since I was a child I awoke that interest in learning to dance all kinds of music (although I still do not). Something I love, is spending time with my friends and invent choreography with them. Here I leave a small video that I recorded with the talented @andreabortone
PHOTOGRAPHY
You can say I'm bad taking pictures, although sometimes I try, but if something I've loved since I was little, is to pose in front of a camera, here I leave some of my favorite pictures and in this way I say goodbye to you ! Thank you very much for reading! ..
