MOZART Réquiem – Edgar Martín, Conductor
BRAHMS Sinfonía 3 – Edgar Martín, Conductor
SCHUMANN Sinfonía 4 – Edgar Martín, Conductor
As a young boy, my parents made me choose between studying English or music for an after-school activity. Thinking I wouldn’t have to study, I chose music… I was terribly wrong! However, I soon realized it was a wonderful career, but it required tremendous sacrifice. Drama started during my teenage years…I couldn’t go out to play with my friends because I had my violin lesson in the morning…such a bummer! Interestingly enough, when I performed well in the lesson, I felt happy the whole week.
I felt music was giving me more than a soccer match with my friends could, although they certainly were important too.
My first experiences performing in concerts with choirs and orchestras would arrive soon after. . Being only 12 years of age, I was already a concertino and composer, and I released one of my first pieces for string orchestra.
By the time I finished my violin career, I could feel a strong attraction by the art of writing music, so I started my degree in music composition. By the time I finished my violin career, I could feel a strong attraction by the art of writing music, so I started my degree in music composition. Once it was over, I understood this was a career full of hardships and a much introverted one, for which I needed to learn a great deal about the main composers. The possibility of being in an orchestra and explaining and sharing my vision of a piece was a clear driver for me, so Orchestra Conducting was clearly the path I should follow.
Said and done, I didn’t think it twice; I had to be trained in Orchestra Conducting, it provided everything I needed and fulfilled me entirely. That took me around the world in my quest for the best teachers (Salvador Más, in Vienna; Larry Rachleff, in Czech Republic; George Pehlivanian, in Malaga; Ronald Zollman, in Kiev; Donald Schleicher, in Chicago…), but the one who had the greatest influence on me and whom I consider my true master is Jordi Mora, in Barcelona, where I concluded my studies.
Ever since I finished my degree in Orchestra Conducting I have had unforgettable experiences conducting orchestras, such as the Symphony Orchestra of Bahía Blanca, Orchestra Filharmonie Bohuslava Martinú or the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the National Philharmonic of Ukraine, to name a few of them.

Ever since I finished my degree in Orchestra Conducting I have had unforgettable experiences conducting orchestras, such as the Symphony Orchestra of Bahía Blanca, Orchestra Filharmonie Bohuslava Martinú or the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the National Philharmonic of Ukraine, to name a few of them.
In addition, I was privileged enough to conduct incredible world-acclaimed soloists such as Pilar Constancio, Alexander Trotchinsky, María Parra, Sara Bondi, David Revuelta, Miguel Borrego or Alejandro Bustamante.
One of the most unforgettable and moving life experiences I had was when I formed a choir with 600 children in Cambodia to perform Beethoven’s 9th symphony. That truly shakes your mentality and vision of music!
I have been acknowledged by some of the main national media in Spain, such as EL MUNDO or ABC newspapers, as well as by specialized media, such as RITMO magazine, for which I made the cover of its December 2016 issue, which praised my role as Orchestra Conductor and music communicator.
Nowadays, I am the lead conductor of the symphony orchestra Camerata Musicalis, an outstanding set that has always been with me. This project emerged from my eagerness to conduct and has gradually grown, both in its number of musicians and the space it takes in my heart.
With Camerata Musicalis I developed the project Why is it special?, a fun concept aiming at teaching classical music to all publics.
If you want to experience classical music in a different way, I hope to see you all in my next concert.
