From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leticia Muñoz Moreno (born 1985 in Madrid) is a Spanish violinist. She started her music education at the early age of 3 in both violin and piano with the Suzuki Method offering her first recitals when she was just 5. In 1996 She studied six years with legendary professor Zakhar Bron at the Escuela de Música Reina Sofía and in Germany at Köln Musikhochschule. Later on she followed the advice of Maxim Vengerov in Saarbrücken and David Takeno in the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where she received the highest degree ever in the history of the school for her final recital. Her last professor was maestro Rostropovich since 2003.
By now (2005) Leticia Moreno plays on a Pietro Guarneri (1679) property of the Stradivari Society of Chicago and has programmed concerts all around the world: Austria, England, St Peterssburg, Moscow with Spivakov, Italy, Poland, South America, Mexico and Spain conducting Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra to cite some examples.
