Join Venezuelan-American oboist Elizabeth Pérez-Hickman and Indonesian pianist Gabriella Prisca Handoko for a recital at An die Musik!

Elizabeth Pérez-Hickman is a Venezuelan-American oboist currently studying at the Peabody Institute on full scholarship, where her teachers have been Nicholas Stovall and Melissa Hooper. Perez-Hickman started playing the oboe in the eighth grade, furthering her skills at the New World School of the Arts. Through the Miami Music Project and the generous support of donor Dan Lewis, Elizabeth attended the Interlochen Arts Camp and Academy on the Miami Music Project Opportunity Full-Scholarship. In 2021 she graduated from the Interlochen Arts Academy with the Young Artist Award, the highest accolade bestowed by the institution.

A recipient of the Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award, Elizabeth was featured on National Public Radio's From The Top. Elizabeth's identity as a Latina musician deeply informs her artistry, driving her mission to diversify the classical music canon. She has gained recognition for performances of music by underrepresented composers, winning Dean Fred Bronstein's grant to record an album of works entirely by minority composers. She is dedicated to both performance and advocacy, striving to make lasting contributions to the classical music field. Her passion for music and commitment to diversity continue to shape her journey as a performer and advocate for underrepresented voices in classical music.

Aspiring Indonesian pianist Gabriella Prisca Handoko was a silver medalist of the 2019 Steinway Junior Competition. She won second prize at the 2018 Los Angeles International Liszt Competition, and was a Prize Winner, and Scholarship and Judges’ Distinction Award recipient at the American Protégé International Music Talent Competition.

With her desire to keep Indonesian Classical music alive, she was one of the performers of the first-ever Indonesia Pusaka Recital at the Carnegie Hall. She is pursuing her Bachelor’s of Music Degree at the Peabody Institute.
