BIOGRAPHY:

Aline Giampietro Trifonov is an accomplished concert pianist, piano educator, entrepreneur, and author of the children’s book The Enchanted Garden of Music. With both Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Piano Performance from Eastern Washington University, she has performed across Latin America and the U.S. and has been featured in Neighborhood News, MTNA, Clavier Companion, Voyage Tampa Magazine, Bold Journey, Fashion Republic, and More Than a Crown Magazine. Her recent engagements include the 2024 Lois Golding Memorial Teachers Benefit Recital and the Pasco-Hernando Concert Series with tenor Dr. Robert Williams, along with an upcoming concert at Tampa’s Steinway Gallery.

Aline founded the Piano Performance Arts Academy, where she nurtures musicianship and artistry in her students, whose accolades include honors from international competitions and high scores in Royal Conservatory examinations. An advocate for accessible music education, she collaborates with organizations like Instruments of Change, Boys and Girls Club, and Tampa Tunes to bring music to underserved communities. Her commitment to fostering “inner voice” in students and promoting music’s transformative power is evident in her work as an educator and adjudicator, for which she received the Spokane Music Teachers Association and Steinway & Sons Award.

In 2025, Aline will speak at the National Wellbeing & Resilience Conference on the healing impact of music. She also has served as Vice President for the Florida MTNA, overseeing statewide competitions, and directs the From the Piano Bench Concert Series, which brings music to community venues while highlighting mental health. A semi-finalist at the Salzburg International Music Competition, Aline also merges music and literature in her Art in Motion series, featuring the poetry of Luiz Vaz de Camões, and performs aerial arts at local festivals.
