Navarro performs with orchestras throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and South America. She has been awarded First prize at several international competitions, including the Liszt-Garritson International Competition in Baltimore, Maryland, Beethoven Sonata Competition in Tennessee, Chopin International Competition of Texas, Artist Series of Sarasota, Imola City Awards in Italy, and most recently the Heida Hermanns International Music Competition in Connecticut.
She made her Carnegie Hall solo recital debut in 2013. She received a Special Bach prize at the International City of Vigo Competition in Spain, where she was one of five finalists from over 400 participating pianists, with a Jury presided by Martha Argerich.
She is passionate about contributing to the musical scene in her native country, where she regularly conducts masterclasses and workshops and recitals. Last year, she performed in several cities in Peru with violist Jodi Levitz, viola professor at the University of Miami.
