Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) Cello Sonata No.2 - III. Adagio & IV. Molto Allegro e vivace

As a Mexican and Canadian composer, winner of the Beethoven's Legacy composition competition of the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal and Yannick Nézet-Séguin in 2020, she has a very varied catalog, ranging from orchestral repertoire to solo music. The duality between darkness and light is very present in her work as it is in ancient Mexican Philosophy. Also, the theme of legacy, ritual, mysticism and the force of nature are essential in her music. Furthermore, she likes to create rich colored atmospheres using noisy sonorities or very lyrical melodies. García Islas finds interesting the use of both to create a balance between strength and lyricism.

Pablo Miró Cortez was born in Karlsruhe, Germany. His musical influence displays a southern temperament, Chilean on his father’s side and French-German on his mother’s.

He performs concerts in Germany, France, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, United States, Canada and Mexico. 
 
His first CD “Franz Liszt and Maurice Ravel” was released under the label Acte Préalable in 2011.

He received a doctorate in  piano from the University of Montreal  in 2015 . His dissertation focuses on Max Reger’s music for solo piano. He currently teaches in Mexico City (Escuela Superior de Música - INBAL and Anáhuac University) and he is the pianist and the founder-member of the new chamber music ensembles: Dúo Iktán (Clarinete & Piano) and the Duo Miró Materka (Piano Duo).
