Margarita Vargas-Machuca, a winner in the Hayes School of Music 2011-2012 Concerto-Aria<br />
Competition, began playing the violin and piano at the age of 8 in her hometown, Málaga (Spain.)<br />
She finished her studies in Spain, studying with Farid Fasla and Pedro León in Madrid and was<br />
awarded the ¨Best Spanish Music Interpreter¨ prize. She later moved to Germany, where she<br />
continued her studies with Ichiko Fujise and Christopher Hogan at the Hamburger Konservatorium<br />
where she discovered a true love for the viola.<br />
Margarita has performed in orchestras such as: Orquesta de Radiotelevisión Española, Orquesta de la<br />
Comunidad de Madrid, Hamburger Symphoniker, Kieler Oper, etc. Being an active orchestral player has<br />
not interfered with her performances as a soloist and chamber musician in many Spanish and<br />
European cities. As a teacher, Margarita has taught in Germany at the Akademie Hamburg and the<br />
Musikschule in der Nordheide. <strong>The</strong> Norddeutsche Sinfonietta in Rendsburg hired her for their lab orchestra<br />
to develop their chamber music program, performing concerts through Germany from 2001-2008.<br />
Her interest in taking music beyond the stage convinced her participate in tours to places where<br />
access to classical music was very limited, discovering that music is a necessity for the human being,<br />
and not a privilege for a few to enjoy. Margarita is an energetic artist with an ability to transmit<br />
inspiration to audiences.<br />
Currently she is pursuing the Master of Music Performance degree at <strong>Appalachian</strong> State University,<br />
studying with Eric Koontz. She enjoys taking walks along the seashore and doing different crafts with<br />
her two lovely children, Noel and Inés.<br />
