Her parents were both musicians, and they encouraged her to pursue music from a young age. Llugdar began studying piano at the age of six and later went on to study composition at the National University of Arts in Buenos Aires. Llugdar's early compositions were heavily influenced by the music of Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla, who is known for his fusion of traditional tango music with elements of jazz and classical music. Llugdar's early works often featured elements of tango music, but she soon began to develop her own unique style. One of Llugdar's early works, "Tango for Piano," was performed at the Buenos Aires International Tango Festival in 2002. The piece was well-received, and it helped to establish Llugdar as a promising young composer. In 2004, Llugdar was awarded a scholarship to study composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, Austria. While in Vienna, Llugdar was exposed to a wide range of musical styles and began to incorporate elements of Austrian classical music into her compositions. Llugdar's compositions are characterized by their use of unconventional harmonies and rhythms. She often incorporates elements of folk music from Argentina and other Latin American countries into her works, giving them a unique and distinctly South American flavor. One of Llugdar's most notable works is "Suite del Sur," a four-movement suite for string orchestra that was premiered in 2010. The piece is inspired by the landscapes and cultures of South America and features elements of traditional folk music from Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. Another notable work by Llugdar is "Cantos de la Tierra," a song cycle for soprano and piano that was premiered in 2014. The piece features settings of poems by Argentine poet Alfonsina Storni and explores themes of love, loss, and the beauty of nature. Llugdar's music has been performed by orchestras and ensembles around the world, including the Vienna Philharmonic, the Buenos Aires Philharmonic, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Argentina. She has also been the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the National Composition Prize of Argentina in 2012. In addition to her work as a composer, Llugdar is also a dedicated educator. She has taught composition at the National University of Arts in Buenos Aires and has given masterclasses and workshops at universities and conservatories around the world. Overall, Analia Llugdar is a talented and innovative composer who has made significant contributions to the world of classical music.
