In 1957, at the age of 16, Argerich won two prestigious competitions: the Geneva International Music Competition and the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition. In 1965, she won the Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw and has since been considered one of the greatest pianists of our time. Argerich has been the recipient of many honors and prizes, including three Grammy Awards. In 2016, Argerich received a Kennedy Center Honor from President Barack Obama, recognizing her significant contributions to the arts.
