Mariana
Villanueva (Mexico City, 1964). Music as a
highly spiritual activity is the core of Mariana
Villanueva´s music, through which she tries
to reach the very depths of her inner world in
search of an ancestral knowledge of a
universal nature. Such a treasure can be revealed
trough dreams, symbols, myths and art. The
way to a transcendent world trough the music is
the path of this composer. Villanueva has
received the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial
Foundation Award (1999); The MEXICO/ USA
Rockefeller, FONCA/ BANCOMER Prize (1995); and
some other rewards form FONCA (1993) (1997)
and Carnegie Mellon University. She has been
written works for the Carnegie Mellon
Trio (1993), The Pittsburgh New Music
Ensemble (1996); and
The Ensamble Cosmopolitano of
Berlín (2002) among others. She also has
collaborated for the Carnegie Mellon Drama
Department under the direction of Rina Yerushalmi
(La casa de Bernarda Alba, 1990)
and Yossy Israeli (Antigone, 1991), and
in Mexico for The Ballet del Teatro del
Espacio with Gladiola Orozco (El Gran
Viaje, 1997). Villanueva began her musical
studies at National Conservatory in
México City, and continued her preparation
at Carnegie Mellon University, under Leonardo
Balada´s trend, where she received her
Bachelors (1992) and Masters (1995) degrees in
Music Composition. Since 1987, her works have
been performed in Mexico, and occasionally in The
United States (New York, New Mexico, Indiana,
and Pittsburgh) by the Pittsburgh New Music
Ensemble, Carnegie Mellon
Trio, and The New Mexico String
Quartet among others. In Europe her
music has been heard in Spain, Germany,
Switzerland and Sweden. As a complement for
her creative search, Mariana completed a PH.
Degree in Music History (Mexico City, UAM-I,
2004) in relation with the life and works of the
Spanish-Cuban composer Julián Orbón. Since
then, she has worked as an external researcher for
the UNAM. From 2012 to 2014 she helped
to organize and participate in a multidisciplinary
project related with music, symbol and myth,
which has lead to two international Colloquies and
diverse didactic concerts where musical
creation, symbol an myth interact. (UNAM/ PAPIIT
IT 400 212). From 2012 until 2014
formed a contemporary ensemble that helped to
spread out the works of classics
of twentieth century music around Morelos.
