Rockefeller 3rd scholarship from The Juilliard School in its master’s degree program, recitalist Adolovni Acosta has, in a 23-year career, performed solo recitals in Europe, the Middle East, North and South America, Asia, and the Pacific, and at prestigious venues that included Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, Merkin Concert Hall, and Steinway Hall in New York; Wigmore Hall and Purcell Hall in London; Salle Cortot in Paris; Hallwylska Museet in Stockholm; Odd Fellow Palaet in Copenhagen; Der BeethovenSaal at La Redoute in Bonn; Yamaha Concert Hall in Vienna; Centrepointe Theatre in Ottawa (Canada); the Sunderland and Wolverhampton Art Galleries in England; Centro Cultural Recoleta in Buenos Aires; Sala Carlos Chavez in Mexico City; Teatro Nacional in Brasilia; and the Cultural Center of the Philippines in Manila. She also has given solo recitals in Doha, Beijing, Phom Penh, and in Hamburg and Berlin at the JFK International School, and at various universities in the U.S.A., and was selected by Jack Kahn Pianos to give a solo recital in the “Bosendorfer Piano in Concert” at The Center for Inter-American Relations in New York City along with Paul Badura-Skoda and Aldo Ciccolini.

   In April 2006, Ms. Acosta gave recitals at the Thailand Cultural Centre organized by D&M Music Studio in cooperation with the Philippine Embassy, at Fujian Normal University in Fuzhou, China presented by the Music Institute, and at Melba Conservatorium of Music in Melbourne, Australia.

   Her performances, often with live interviews, have been heard in television and radio stations in many parts of the world.
   Ms. Acosta received widely critical acclaim from many world famous newspapers such as The New York Times which wrote: “wide range of keyboard colors and dynamics at her disposal. Debussy’s “Feux d’artifice” was deftly set aglitter and there was propulsive energy to spare in the Hungarian Rhapsody No.8 by Franz Liszt…. successfully delineated the varied moods of the 24 Preludes by Chopin and confidently met their technical demands.” Le Parisien Libr (Paris) wrote: “a name to remember.” Reviews of London Recitals wrote: “music-making of fine quality.”

   A recipient of many honors and awards in the United States and the Philippines that include her inclusion in the Chronology of Western Classical Music (1751-2000) by Charles J. Hall published by Routledge in 2002 and in the International Who’ Who in Classical Music, a Europa Publications, and her participation in a concert at The White House for Rosalyn Carter and wives of the diplomatic corps, Ms. Acosta was selected as one of the “100 Young Women of Promise” by Good Housekeeping magazine in its 100th anniversary issue.
