About
Silvia De Teresa is a Spanish pianist, performance maker, educator and producer based in The Hague (NL). Driven by a desire to reimagine how music and art can be experienced, she engages the piano as both material and metaphor in performances that intertwine sound, movement, and collective presence. Her collaborative and process-based practice explores shared creative agency as a means to generate meaningful social impact.
