Close-Up:
- I have always wanted to devote my life to something that would have a positive impact on people. For a long time, I thought that classical music, because of the way it is “structured”, would not give me this satisfaction. I felt that classical musicians were some sort of strange beings out there doing things that nobody cared about and that won’t help change the world. But, participating in projects like Nostrum Mare Camerata has helped me change my mind, and I now see how being a musician fits in.
- I recently saw a Mexican film, Radical, that is based on real events. I found it very moving.
- I think the hardest thing about being a musician is the time, energy, effort and money you need to invest without any guarantee of achieving our goals.
- The program for my ideal concert would have something by my favorite composer, Mozart, something by one of the nationalists like Shostakovich or Bartok, some French music by Debussy or Ravel for example, and something popular and danceable.
- Nostrum Mare Camerata is a project that concentrates on the music itself. Each member of the group, then, takes on equal responsibility, allowing us to take our possibilities to the limit.
