Boris Cepeda first performed in public at the age of five. That same year, he began attending the German School in Quito, where a European orientation became part of his formation from the start. At six, he took first prize in a national competition. What followed — European universities, German opera houses, the Berliner Philharmonie, Carnegie Hall, and stages across four continents — was earned through discipline, not given. Along the way came the Order Vicente Rocafuerte, conferred by the National Congress of Ecuador, the Schubert Prize, and the distinction of being named a Steinway Artist. German and Ecuadorian, Boris Cepeda is based in Atlanta. He performs, teaches, conducts, creates, and researches. The work continues.
