I am honored to announce that the Plucked String and Guitar Orchestra of the Alicante Professional Conservatory, conducted by Cuban Maryla Díaz, has selected me as its Composer-In-Residence till the spring of 2027.

The orchestra consists of plucked string instruments, guitars, percussion, winds, and double bass.

VALENCIA: Premiere of ‘Chelo en el mar’ by Yaimar Peña Solanes

As part of the didactic project impulsed by cellist Elena Solanes, the book ‘El nuevo universo de Chelo’, in which there are four commissioned works for learning this instrument, is presented in Valencia.

Among these four pieces is ‘Chelo in the sea’, a graphic work in which I intentionally do not use time signatures, barlines, staves, or even musical notes, but choreographic and theatrical actions.

The book can be purchased at this link of the publishing house Piles.

The premiere is performed by Yaimar Peña Solanes, daughter of the commissioner and promoter of the educational project at the José Iturbi Professional Conservatory of Valencia.
