Close-Up:
- I am thrilled to be able to devote my life to music because it is something I am passionate about.
- My instrument is the violin and I began to learn to play it when I was very young. It is now part of me. We have a great time together, both when I’m playing alone, or with an orchestra or a chamber music group.
- My first concert with Nostrum Mare Camerata was in the Santa Maria Monastery in Simat de la Valldigna, a beautiful place with a hall with great acoustics. I really enjoyed playing that concert with my colleagues.
