BIOGRAPHY
Born in Santiago, Chile, Teresa was a professional singer. Her musical talent is a family inheritance—her father was a professional violinist, her uncle was a composer and orchestra director, her grandfather was a professional pianist, organist, classical guitarist, and conductor.
In Chile; Teresa was invited to join the International Company of Zarzuela, a well-known touring operetta company of which she later became Choir Director.

Teresa travelled with the company, performing in around Latin America, as well as in her own country.
She progressed from the choir to acting roles, eventually understudying the leading soprano role for Man of La Mancha. During that period, she was also commissioned for performances by the Chilean Ministry of Culture, the Verdi Lyric Union, and the Santiago Literature Circle.

She performed at Expo 87, and sang regularly on radio and television.
In 1988 Teresa was offered the position of Choir Instructor with the University of Bolivia. At the same time, she was also invited by a Spanish Latin American cultural group to undertake a performing tour of Australia. She chose to accept the latter invitation, immigrated permanently to Australia, and is now an Australian citizen.

In Australia, Teresa undertook private singing tuition with Dame Joan Hammond until her death. She then commenced studying with Lynette Casey-Brereton, former Director of the Melba Memorial Conservatorium of Music. Teresa has also co-ordinated several events within Melbourne community sector, and has been involved in numerous festivals.
Teresa was invited to perform successfully in various concerts, recitals and was commissioned to play the part of Dame Nellie Melba in the Australia Centenary of Federation Concerts in 2001. Participating in Australia Opera’s Don Carlos and the Melbourne City Opera’s Il Travatore, Teresa was invited to be a guest on the SBS radio station in 2001 and 2003.
Teresa has produced concerts for the City of Stonnington.
