Argentinian saxophonist, music teacher, compositor, performer

After studying with great saxophonists like Pierre-Stéphane Meugé (Switzerland), Fabrizio Mancuso (France) and María Noel Luzardo (Argentina), he received his BA in Music from the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne (Switzerland) in 2013.

After living in France many years, he is now established in England where he pursues his career as saxophonist, always between traditional and popular music, employing improvisation, contemporary techniques, world music and traditional aesthetics into his projects.
His musical activity is mainly shared between improvisation groups (which he creates and conducts), duos with piano, saxophone quartet, or other chamber music ensembles.

--------------------------
Après avoir travaillé le saxophone classique et la composition et improvisation à Buenos Aires (Argentine), il poursuit des études de perfectionnement en France, auprès de Fabrizio Mancuso (conservatoire d'Annecy), puis Pierre-Stéphane Meugé (Haute École de Musique de Lausanne).

Il fait partie de divers projets, toujours entre improvisation, musique écrite,  musique populaire et composition.
Son activité musicale se partage entre projets d'improvisation (dont il a été souvent créateur et directeur), les duos avec piano ou d'autres instruments, et le quatuor de saxophones.
