If you or your team organizes a concert, and need someone to perform the Basso continuo at the harpsichord in a baroque score, take me as a qualified candidate, I am experienced in this subject, be it concerning chamber music, or choir, or orchestra, or soloists, choir and orchestra. Besides, I own an instrument and have the proper means of transportation. Please contact me to talk about your project, we will for sure reach agreement (also if you need someone playing on the organ). On the box below, I include a couple of recordings with examples of myself playing a continuo accompaniment at the harpsichord on different occasions, like a concert with a cantata by Alessandro Scarlatti, performed in the year 1993 with the group Concertare and the mezzosoprano Alejandra Spagnuolo, or a short fragment of continuo at the organ from Handel's Messiah, performed in 2003 with "Mestral Choir" and the orchestra of "Centre de Lectura" in Reus. On the box at the right, you will find a program where I play continuo on a harpsichord, together with an instrumental group.

If you have the opportunity to organize a concert and would like to have an Early Music group at your disposal, you must get to know Concertare, baroque chamber music The instrumental grup Concertare is a quartet of two flutes, basoon and harpsichord which devotes itself to the interpretation of chamber music of the renaissance and baroque periods, and play with instruments which are copies of the originals of the period, this is, from 16th to 18th centuries. At its concerts, Concertare introduces the audience to the corresponding times and composers through explanations about the works and the instruments used. The links below will bring you the audio recordings of a few excerpts of the concert that Concertare played on June 10th, 2006 at the church of Almenar (Lleida).

This is for Managers of Music Schools, or Conservatoriums, or other Musical Societies: if you need an Orchestra conductor be it an orchestra proper or as a conductor of other groups, instrumental or choirs, and be it for a steady task or also if you are looking for a guest conductor for a specific concert ..., here you have the right person for the work. I studied and got the certification at ESMUC in Barcelona, and have a variety of experience in vocal and instrumental groups. I attach a recording of the second movement of the fifth symphony by Beethoven, which I conducted on June 6th, 2006, during my yearly conducting examination, played by the ESMUC Pilot Orchestra.
