Biography

RiuDolç Brass was born within the Conservatori Superior de Música de les Illes Balears in 2014. A group made up of five young people, who participate in the competition that the same establishment offers to its students. They managed to be awarded, in recognition of their chamber work, since then the group has become stable. From the first day the group maintains the original formation with Carlos Navarro and José Fernando Garcia on trumpet, Diego Riudavets on trombone, Taylor Townsend on French horn and Felipe Arroyo on tuba, which gives them their own sound that has been developed over the years. .


RiuDolç has given master classes in Valencia and has performed in its extensive territory, in places such as Teulada, Polop de la Marina, Burriana, the José Iturbi Professional Conservatori in Valencia. On the island of Mallorca during the Deia Chamber Music Festival, where it has established itself as a reference group within the festival itself, in the teaching cycle of the Conservatori Superior, in the music school of Binissalem, in the cycle of organ concerts in Sa Pobla for its 300th anniversary and in various music schools in Palma on a pedagogical basis.


Thanks to the support of the Ramon Llull Institute, this year they celebrated their 8th anniversary by performing concerts throughout Spain and in the United States for the second consecutive year.


Its main rule is to break with the pre-established and create new show formats, where the public actively participates and stops being a cold and distant performance, something very well received in the press by the critic Emili Gené.
They have performed alongside international soloists such as Josep Burguera, Steven Mead or Adán Delgado (soloist of the ONE), as well as having collaborated together with Pere Garcías (trombone of the OSIB), Mario Molina and Magí Garcies Frau, both pianists of European relevance, Pedro Aguiló, Ruben Gonzalez Mateo (professor at the Conservatori Superior de les Illes Balears) among others.
RiuDolç Brass is a group that includes in its programs original works for the group composed by musicians from the Balearic Islands or who reside in them, always seeking musical enrichment for the culture of the islands.
Today its members perform in professional orchestras, pursue master's degrees in Europe, and are recognized pedagogues on an individual level.
