Elena Casanova was born in Havana, Cuba. She was fascinated by the piano at a very early age. She started piano lessons by age 5 and due to her outstanding talent she was selected to study at the Alejandro Garcia Caturla Music Conservatory in Havana. By the time she was 13 she had performed major piano works by composers such as Bach, Schubert and Beethoven, and she’s been captivating audiences ever since.
Elena graduated from University of Redlands, California with a Bachelor of Music in Piano Performance. She also attended Pacific Union College and the San Francisco Conservatory. Among others she has studied with Maria D. Robles, Tom Turinia, Robert Bowman and Lynn Wheeler.
