About

I think of myself as a citizen of the world. I’ve lived in five countries across different continents and have learned several languages, but music—the one I began studying as a child in Havana—has been the most powerful way for me to translate whatever passes through my inner world.

I’m drawn to beauty, but I’m equally interested in what isn’t traditionally considered beautiful—because that’s often where something more real can be found. I experience music as something almost magical, a spiritual force beyond the intellectual and virtuosic work it requires.

I study it every day, and what I value most is sharing it with others who are open to connecting through it.

Music

I move through what’s often called classical repertoire, but I don’t really experience it as a fixed tradition. Some days it leads me to Schumann, Schubert, or Chopin; other times to the architectural depth of Beethoven’s sonatas. What matters more is how the music resonates with the present moment—how it speaks to where we are, not just where it comes from.

Being Cuban and shaped by years in the diaspora, I feel a strong pull to connect this repertoire with Hispano-American voices—composers like Villa-Lobos, Albéniz, and lesser-known Cuban figures from the 19th century. For me, this isn’t about presenting a canon, but about opening it—placing familiar works alongside others that expand the narrative.

I’m interested in performance as a living experience, not a museum one. The same music can reveal completely different meanings depending on how and where we encounter
