Encounter of Santander
Born in Valencia, where he began his musical education at the Conservatorio Municipal José Iturbi and the Conservatorio Superior Joaquín Rodrigo, studying piano, organ and choral conducting, always obtaining the highest marks, as well as five honours prizes and the José Iturbi Prize for the Best Academic Record.
In 1999, he received a scholarship by Instituto Valenciano de la Música and, after obtaining his Diploma in Piano and Choral Conducting, he enters the Franz Liszt Music Academy in Budapest where he did improvement studies with professors, Gulyás Istvan (piano), Klezli János (voice), Kollár Éva and Erdei Péter (choral conducting). This was a decisive and highly influential period in his training as a conductor, as he came into contact with the great Hungarian and Central European choral tradition. In 2001, he was a finalist and special prize winner at the 1st International Competition for Young Choral Conductors in Budapest.
In 2002, he enters the Universität für Musik un Darstellende Kunst in Vienna under the guidance of professors Maria Höller (voice), Erwin Ortner (choral conducting), Uros Lajovic, Simeon Pironkoff, and Konrad Leiner (orchestral conducting), and obtained the Magister cum Artium Diploma and conducted the Radio Symphonie Orchester Wien (RSO) at the Musikverein’s Goldenersaal. His training was also influenced by many masterclasses given by prestigious conductors including Czifra János, Simon Carrington, Roy Wales, Frider Bernius, Seijii Ozawa, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and Mariss Jansons.
A performer with a solid career, he has performed numerous concerts and recitals, both as soloist and conductor, in Spain, Italy, Vienna, and Budapest. He was a member of the Arnold Schönberg Choir and the Vienna Cathedral Choir in Austria, and has conducted a large number of choral ensembles as principal or guest conductor. He was deputy conductor of the Jove Orquestra de la Generalitat Valenciana. He has also regularly conducted orchestral ensembles such as the Pro Arte Orchester Wien in Austria, Santa Cecilia Classical Orchestra and the European Royal Ensemble in Madrid.
In 2011 he appointed deputy conductor at Spain’s National Choir and, from 2015, he is chief conductor. Since the 2024-2025 academic year, he is Deputy Professor of the "Zubin Mehta" Conducting Chair at the Reina Sofía School of Music in Madrid.
