Motivation

Everything begins with chamber music, a space where I feel my purpose as a musician is most fully realised.

Being able to bring together ten friends to make music, share the stage, and build something meaningful together is, for me, a dream come true. This project has also grown out of hard work, many attempts, and more than a few rejections, but above all from the determination to keep moving forward.

This is the first time this festival takes shape, and that is precisely what makes it so special: everything it has taken to make it possible, and everything that has been learned along the way.

Chamber music career

In 2023, Trio Moment was founded together with cellist Fabiola Sebastián and pianist Javier Moyà. During their final year of studies at the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid, the ensemble was awarded the highest distinction, Matrícula de Honor.

Since then, they have received recognition in several international competitions, earning, among other distinctions, the Second Prize at the 21st Concurso Internacional de Música de Cámara de Arnuero and the First Prize at the Concurso Jesús de Monasterio 2024.

They have also performed at prestigious festivals and concert series such as the Festival Internacional de Música de Santander and the Jóvenes Intérpretes series at Fundación Juan March in Madrid. In addition, they have appeared in renowned venues including the Ateneo de Madrid and the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando.
