Curriculum Vitae
LIFE BA CKGROUND
Born in Guadalajara, Spain where I stage debuted at the early age of 15 with a concert tour around the province in historical places like the Ducal Palace Cogolludo, Iglesia San Gines del Convento Santo Domingo de Cifuentes, Patio de los Leones of the Infantry Palace in Guadalajara, Palace of the Duke of Gor in Yunquera, Iglesia de San Andrés, among others. (September 1978- July 1980)
I specialized in époque or early music, with Javier Hinojosa and José Miguel Moreno, while practicing the vihuela and Renaissance lute (1979) and was awarded 1st prize in the International Guitar Contest of Béarn d’Arthez in France (1983). I graduated with honors from Father Soler Conservatory of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, with José María Gallardo as teacher. (1994) Worked as a guitar professor in the Boadilla del Monte Conservatory for 11 years. (1988-1999) Since then I´ve traveled and performed in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas.
The classic guitar is the clear protagonist of my career and compositions, proved by more than forty works for guitar. Although my compositions are not all circumscribed to this instrument, I have created chamber music for duos, trios and ensembles, for orchestra, ballets and a concert for guitar and orchestra.
