Resumen:
During this conversation-concert I will perform some significant pieces from my current repertoire, preparing the audience to listen through a synthesis of my entire dual professional path to highlight how the strength of Mathematics serves as a guide and reference. I will try to persuade the audience that only with deep, thoughtful, attentive knowledge of the music can a free and conscious interpretation be achieved. Respectful of the scores, my research and my mathematical mind allow me to be myself, like the composer I play.
