Virginia Yep began her guitar studies at the Conservatorio Nacional de Música in Lima, Peru, at the age of eight. After winning several awards and passing her final exams, she first moved to Spain and later to Berlin, where she completed her doctorate at the Free University. Performances have taken her to South and Central America, Europe, Morocco, Turkey and China. In addition to her concert and research activities, she composes her own pieces, which she will perform for us this evening with her usual virtuosity.
