ECLIPSE

Gadiel R. Juárez Cossio was born in Saltillo. Coahuila, Mexico, on October 20, 2006. From an early age he showed a strong interest in music, and from the age of seven he participated actively in different choirs, where he developed his musicality and ensemble skills. While his musical background began in choral singing, it was not until the age of fourteen that he began his formal studies as a pianist.

He started his piano studies under the guidance of his father, Pedro Juárez, also a pianist, who played a decisive role in Gadiel’s initial musical development and discipline. After approximately six months, Gadiel continued his training under the instruction of José de Jesús Martínez Lizcano, with whom he studied for one year, strengthening his technical foundation and stylistic understanding. He was later admitted to the Escuela Superior de Música y Danza de Monterrey, where he pursued professional piano studies and he is currently a student at UTRGV under the tutelage of Dr. Brendan Kinsella. This institution helped him develop his technical and interpretative skills while expanding his repertoire across different musical periods.

As part of his academic training, Gadiel participated in the Soloists Competition of the Escuela Superior de Música y Danza de Monterrey 2025, where he was selected as a finalist, performing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major, K. 488. And later in January 2026 was awarded with the 1st Prize Winner of Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Texas 34th edition. He has also had the privilege of taking masterclasses with Dr Haysun Kang, Mauricio Ponce and Svetlana Pyrkova, which have contributed significantly to his artistic growth.

Gadiel has performed in various recitals and concerts in Monterrey and Saltillo, he presented recently a soloist concert called “ECLIPSE” which received very good reviews, gaining valuable stage experience and developing strong connections with audiences. As a student, he is recognized for his discipline, consistency, and commitment to his musical development. As a pianist, he seeks a balance between technical precision and expressive depth, aiming to communicate music with clarity and authenticity while continuing his path toward a professional artistic career.
