Sergio Cervetti - Uruguayan-born composer currently residing in the United States.
Sergio Cervetti is an American composer of Uruguayan origin. He was born in Dolores on November 9, 1940 to an Italian father who played the clarinet and a French mother who encouraged him to take piano lessons at an early age. During his teenage years, he played piano and saxophone in a tango-jazz band while earning degrees in French and piano. He taught French at the Alliance Française and had already composed his first work, a song for soprano and piano on a poem by Arthur Rimbaud.
After moving to Montevideo in 1959, he studied piano with Hugo Balzo and José María Martino Rodas, and harmony and counterpoint with Carlos Estrada and Guido Santorsola at the National Conservatory. Encouraged and assisted by the Uruguayan diplomat and music critic Washington Roldán and his brother Horacio Roldán, Cervetti emigrated to Washington in 1962 and was sworn in as an American citizen in Brooklyn, New York, in 1979.
He graduated from the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore in 1967 after studying composition with Ernst Krenek and Stefan Grové, conducting with Laszlo Halasz, and receiving scholarships from Peabody and the Organization of American States. While still a student, he won the Chamber Music Prize at the III Caracas Festival in Venezuela in 1966 for Five Episodes for piano, violin and cello, which was also favorably reviewed in Melos by the respected German music critic H. H. Stuckenschmidt, who stated: "A wealth of original ideas, an exemplary piece of music".
Exiled to the United States, he has since written numerous pieces and operas there.
