'Music is the most direct art, enters the ear and goes to the heart'

Magdalena Martínez

Coherence is the key

– The best option is to create music of our time, not the past but also music of the future. A composer can think of the public, also in the musicians, but always has the responsibility to think in the own music, THIS IS COHERENT. –

Carlos Pellicer has written many works for different orchestral groups and music for the cinema although his greatest love is composing music for band. His works have been played by important international groups and festivals like the National Conservatory from Lisboa, Brassband Excelsior Veenwoudsterwal from Holland, Federazione dei Corpi Bandistici from Trento, the interpretation contests of Veldhoven and Enschede from Holland, CIBM Valencia, Musikfest Baden-Württemberg from Germany, Concours National de Musique de Bourbon-Lancy…
