Classical music has always been a part of my life. As a child, I used to attend concerts in the Philharmonic Society of Bilbao, my hometown, and I always knew I would dedicate myself to classical music. I studied violin at the Bilbao Conservatory and musicology at the Universities of Oviedo and Sheffield. I ended up working at the Philharmonic Society for eighteen wonderful years. I have been a tour manager for the concert agency Primusic and a translator for the Akal music collection. I have been invited to participate in various international music festivals, such as the Second Bogotá International Music Festival “Bogotá is Mozart” and the Brasov Chamber Music Festival, and I have written articles for various media, such as the Bilbao Newspaper and the Philharmonic Society Bulletin. I have been a professor at the University of Cádiz, a presenter of the Berlin Digital Concert Hall concerts at the Guggenheim Museum, and a contributor to the program “La Dársena” on Radio Clásica. I have also worked at Konpartitu. For two and a half years, I made a brief foray into the world of gastronomy and was a public relations manager for Martín Berasategui’s restaurant at the Guggenheim Museum. I have organized trips to the best festivals and concert halls in Europe, such as  Lucerne, Salzburg, Glyndebourne, Aldeburgh, Schwarzenberg, Vienna, Milan, London, Paris, Munich, Hamburg, Baden Baden, Berlin, Amsterdam, Lofoten Islands, Zurich, Leipzig, Bayreuth, Verbier Festivals, and so on. I currently direct and work at Bilbao House Concerts, where I present and organize, in collaboration with the Guggenheim Museum, the piano series “The Sounds of Art.” I also continue to teach courses and organize trips.
