About me
I was born in Llíria (Valencia, SPAIN), also known as the "City of Music". I studied at the Valencia and Castellon's Conservatories where I got my bachelor's degree in five specialities: Conducting, Composition, Musicology, Music Education and Clarinet Performance. Besides, I moved to the US to complete my Master in Wind Conducting at the University of Massachuetts Amherst.
I received several composition awards, including International Soloist and Band Composition Award Ciutat de Llíria, First Prize at the V Galician Band Compostion Contest, International Chamber Music Composition Award “Salvador Seguí”, 2nd Prize at VI Choral Composition Contest “Coral de Cámara de Pamplona”, 2nd Prize at III Iberoamerican Band Composition Contest “Villa de Ortigueira.”
I have also composed under commission of institutions such as Institut Valencià de la Música or WASBE, and bands from around the world.
My music has been played in countries such as Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canadá, Colombia, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Singapur, Spain, Slovenia, Taiwan, or the USA.
Internationally, I have been invited to conduct my own music by bands as Tainan Wind Ensemble (Taiwan) Banda Sinfónica Metropolitana de Quito (Ecuador), Drexel University Concert Band, Carroll University Concert Band, Orquesta de Sopros do Medio Tejo (Portugal), Banda Sinfónica de la Universidad de Nariño (Colombia), and Banda de Música de Pontevedra, Pihalni Orkester Železarjev (Slovenia) among others.
Currently, I am the main conductor of the Symphonic Band at Centre Artístic Musical de Bétera (musicabetera.es), and a professional group I founded, Turia Chamber Winds. I am also working on new pieces and teaching at public conservatories of Valencian region.
