Violist and chamber musician

As a violist and chamber musician I believe in connecting with the audience by turning every piece into a story with contrasting characters and emotions with which they will relate.

Biography

Originally from Spain, I spent the past nine years living in Norway, where I studied my bachelor’s degree in viola and practical pedagogic studies viola at University of Stavanger with Ellen Nisbeth and Davis Sliecans. After my bachelor I worked for a year as a violin teacher in Eigersund kulturskole (Norway). I taught violin individually and in group lessons, and oversaw music theory and music history lessons.

At the moment, I am living in Maastricht, where I am pursuing a master's degree in viola performance at Maastricht Conservatory with Julia Dinerchtein.

Throughout my studies I have participated and performed in several chamber music festivals and courses like Voksenåsen summer academy in Oslo, Båstad chamber music festival in Sweden, New Millenium Chamber Music Academy in Budapest, Zemstov Masterclasses in the Netherlands, and a String Quartet course organised by the Marmen Quartet in Malmö. I’ve also had the opportunity to take masterclasses and private lessons with Isabel Villanueva, Travis Maril, Bryony Gibson-Cornish, Phil Ying, Mark Holloway, Asbjørn Nørgaard, Ida Bryhn, and Mikhail Zemstov.

Chamber music has always been present alongside my studies and I have been a member of different chamber music ensembles such as Aureus Trio, Peiskos String Quartet, Edda Strykekvartett, Malia String Duo, as well as Bergen Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and Bergen Youth Chamber Orchestra.

I play on a viola by Rafael Melenchon modeled after the “Archinto” Stradivarius viola from 1969, made in 2012 in Madrid.
