As a composer, I feel very committed not only to creating new audiences, but also to creating new repertoires for today’s audiences. I believe in the need to build bridges that bring contemporary music closer to the younger audience, but most importantly, I believe that it is essential to approach the process of musical composition with honesty, from a clear aesthetic standpoint and through a sound language of our own, thus providing the project with the coherence, depth, and complexity of a serious artistic proposal that does not give in to stage mediocrity or musical trivializations.
