Delia Steinberg Guzmán, (Buenos Aires, 1943), is a philosopher, music and writer and, since 1991, International President of the International Organization New Acropolis, a non profit association dedicated to the promotion of philosophy, culture and volunteering. She was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 7 January 1943, and obtained the Spanish nationality in 1975. She was awarded the Cross of Paris in Arts, Sciences and Literature by the Académie française.
Delia Steinberg studied music from an early age and, at the age of 17, graduated from the National Conservatory of Music in Buenos Aires as Teacher of Piano and Composition. She then continued her studies under the Argentine concert pianist Flora Nudelman, and later with the Russian master Hubert Brandenburg. Nudelman herself had been a pupil of Jorge Lalewicz, who had studied under Anatoly Lyadov and Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
She completed her studies with a master's degree in Philosophy from the University of Buenos Aires, and took specialist courses in Archaeology and History, exact sciences, journalism and advertising.
In 1972 she became the Director of New Acropolis in Spain and, since the death of its founder and first international director, Jorge Livraga, in 1991, she has been the international president of the organization.
In 1982 she founded the New Acropolis International Piano Competition, which has been held annually in Madrid (Spain), and in 2008 was renamed the Delia Steinberg International Piano Competition. This competition has been a member of the Alink-Argerich Foundation (AAF), promoted by the Argentine pianist Martha Argerich, since December 2007. The competition is recognised for attracting a large number of entries and for the technical and artistic level of its participants. In 1988 she founded Tristan Music Institute to promote music internationally.
