Microtonal harp by Julián Carrillo - concerts
On June 4th, I had the privilege of presenting REGRESO A AHUALULCO - Return to Ahualulco -, my documentary-concert, at a remarkable venue: Ex Teresa Arte Actual in Mexico City. I performed live on the microtonal harp tuned in sixteenth-tones, created by the visionary Julián Carrillo. An unforgettable experience, filled with history and deep sonic textures by the recording of the microtonal pianos of Carrillo. Thank you to everyone who made it possible and to those who shared that moment with me. Just a few days earlier, on May 24th, I had presented the same work at the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC), in a production by Música UNAM. And a few months before that, the documentary premiered in San Luis Potosí, in a concert produced by the Secretaría de Cultura de San Luis Potosí. More performances are scheduled throughout 2025 — stay tuned. ![]() New composition course on-line
