Composer, performer and conductor. Mainly interested in music as a physical manifestation of space and vibration. Fascinated by the scientific discoveries of the last century. Composition mentors (who shaped my music thinking during years of continuous mentoring): Stefano Gervasoni, Azio Corghi, Dai Fujikura, Simon Bainbridge, Oliver Knussen and Pierluigi Billone.

 The “De la Rosa-Caravaca” duo was created in 2004, when they were classmates at the Balearic Islands Conservatoire. The same year they were in the final round of Art Jove Balearic Islands Chamber Music Competition.
Since that date they have performed around Spain, doing also tours for Jeunesses Musicales of Spain around Catalonia, Andalucía and Balearic Islands. They have also performed in London, in venues such as the Royal Albert Hall in the Coffee Morning Series, having a great success.​
Recently, they have been awarded with 2nd prize at the Sitges International Chamber Music Competition "Josep Mirabent i Magrans" 2013.

Interested in new scenic purposes, they have created several classical music shows. Collaborating with the recognised musicologist Luca Chiantore they created a special project called “Schumann-Brahms: maestro y aprendiz” [Shumann-Brahms: maestro and apprentice]. Together with dancers and the current RCM composition student Raquel García-Tomas, the “De la Rosa-Caravaca Duo” created “Sueños de Íbero” [Iberian Dreams]: a new perspective of Spanish music recital with dance, lighting and poetry.

Nowadays they are working in a new purpose with French music joining the new revelation painter Carlos Prieto, and premieres from other young composers.

​Performing all kind of classical periods, they always do passionate and thrilling versions just wondering the audience emotion.


I make music that's either strangely beautiful or beautifully strange.
From Barcelona. Based in Copenhagen.

Mandorla nace con un sonido propio donde se encuentran el legado de las músicas populares latinoamericanas con las sonoridades electrónicas; el francés, el inglés y el español se alternan dentro del repertorio mediados por un solo idioma: la música; el poder de sus juegos rítmicos y tímbricos conducen al público a través de un viaje sonoro que va desde la contemplación hasta el baile; La multiculturalidad de sus integrantes le da ese tinte real de música del mundo.

Mandorla es la médula, nuevas canciones y convergencia sonora... 

Mandorla emerges as a genuine sound, where latin american popular legacy and electronic sounds blend together; french, english and spanish alternate through the repertoire for an unique language: music. The power of rhythmic an timbre conduit the public along a resounding voyage, from contemplation to dancing. The cultural versatility of it's musicians give to the sound a colorful trace of world music.
