Nacho de Paz Sánchez

The conductor Nacho de Paz Sánchez (Oviedo, 1974) is known in particular for his dedication to the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. He is recognized for his work in the experimental contemporary repertoire in Spain. He trained in the Russian school (with Natalia Mazoun, Ilya Goldfarb, Tisala Kvernadze). He has a degree in piano from the Conservatorio Superior del Principado de Asturias and in composition from Conservatorio Superior Municipal de Barcelona, where he received the highest grades. He has also studied doctoral courses in History of Art and Musicology at Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona and Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

The aim of this project is to organize a concert of  works exclusively by Alberto Posadas (Valladolid, 1967), in Vienna, performed by Klangforum Wien, one of the most prestigious orchestral groups in the world.

The event will be of great importance for Spanish music abroad, as it is a retrospective of the last 10 years of the composer involved, who won the National Music Prize in 2011.

Both the concert and a number of studio sessions will be recorded for a CD to be published by a prestigious recording company in the field of contemporary music with extensive international distribution.
