Músic i saxofonista natural de Constantí (Tarragona), nascut al 1993.



saxophonist | musician
demos, improvisations, sketches, some finished stuff

I have premiered more than eighty works from multiple musical genres, from solo to opera, by composers from all over the world. Notable among these are the "Concertos" for baritone saxophone and orchestra by Albena Petrovic (Philharmonie de Luxembourg, June 2018) and Fernando Lerman (Teatre Fortuny de Reus, November 2024).

Throughout my solo (and also soloist) activity, I have been a member of several chamber music projects (I was a founding member of SAX 3+1 saxophone quartet, 1994-2013), contemporary music ensembles and other orchestral formations. In 2016, composer and sound artist Joan Bagés i Rubí and I created Morphosis Duo (baritone saxophone and electronics), the basic version of Morphosis Ensemble, a flexible collective of electroacoustic musicians with whom I closely collaborate. 

I have performed in Europe, America and Australasia in festivals such as Mixtur Barcelona, New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, Rc4 (Rio de Janeiro) and Classical:NEXT (Vienna and Hannover editions), presenting my diverse artistic projects, mainly focused on new music.

· “Without a doubt, all of this places Joan Martí-Frasquier as one of the references in the contemporary saxophone and new music” [Toda La Música, 2019]
