I am specialized in Medieval Music, both through the theoretical study of its repertoires and its performance as a singer and psaltery player. I´ve been formed mainly in France, but also in Switzerland, Italy and Spain, by some of the best performers and researchers in the field. I am cofounder of various international ensembles with which I regularly perform. In 2011 I started a pedagogical activity, mainly teaching the interpretation of these repertoires in France, Italy and Spain, where I've founded the "Escuela de Música Medieval y de Tradición Oral" (Madrid).

  Al concierto precedieron sendos discursos de la directora actual del memorial del campo de concentración de Ravensbrück y de Margarita Català van Amsterdam, miembro del comité Internacional de Ravensbrück e hija de una de las deportadas (Neus Català).

  El programa incluyó piezas que sabemos que se cantaron allí por los testimonios de las supervivientes; piezas recogidas en los lugares de origen de algunas de las prisioneras; piezas antiguas (siglos IX-XV) como caracteriza a las Cantaderas: un llanto de Raquel por sus hijos, otro por la muerte de una abadesa de Las Huelgas, una Sibila y una pieza de Hildegard von Bingen; y dos piezas compuestas por Dominique Vellard para el ensemble, que se estrenaron allí.

  El canto se entrecortó en varios puntos por la emoción del momento.

  A las voces acompañaron cucharas, dedales, piedras, nueces, castañuelas y panderetas y panderos (estos últimos para las dos piezas de Dominique Vellard).

  El concierto tuvo lugar en la fábrica textil intramuros del campo donde se explotó a una parte de las prisioneras.

  Tras la experiencia de pasar allí seis días, las Cantaderas seguimos y seguiremos con aquel lugar impreso en nosotras para siempre.

Recent musical activity

• I am cofounder of two ensembles, on which my musical activity is mainly focused, and with which I keep on studying and discovering the medieval repertoire: “Puy de sons d´autrefois” (2007) and “Oiet” (2012).

• I am also cofounder of an exciting ensemble: Cantaderas (2015), directed by Ana Arnaz, devoted to Spanish traditional music and to specific Early Music repertoires related to it. The Cantaderas are: Ana Arnaz de Hoyos, June Telletxea García, AnneMarie Lablaude and myself. All around this project, singing and being near these three women, means “happiness” to me.

• Very recently, together with three other singers (Ana Arnaz, Èlia Casanova and Amparo Maiques) I created the project: EVOCA (Proyecto de Exploración de la Vocalidad y la Oralidad del Canto Antiguo). Since its birth the project has enjoied the great support of the Alcalá de Henares University’s Aula de Música. Thanks to the artistic residency in this institution all over 2021 the project is growing, despite the sanitary situation. I am very enthusiastic about this new project.

“Puy de sons d´autrefois”, founded in 2007, approaches sacred and secular music, both vocal and instrumental, of the XIIth, XIIIth and XIVth, creating programmes where some aspect of the epoch is evoked by its music and texts such as: "The Woman in the Middle Ages. Testimony in Music"; "Love, Myth and Symbol in the Reina  Codex"; "Urganda the Unknown . Magic in Medieval Iberia"; "Musical life at the Serenissima in the XIVth and XVth centuries. Francesco Landini & Johannes Ciconia"; "La musique couronnée. Un puy du XIIIe siècle et son councours de trouvères";  "La musica de Guillaume de Machaut nei Codici veneti del XIV e XV secolo", or the pedagogical programmes: “The Legend of the Maiden and the Unicorn”; “From Neums to White Notation. The Evolution of Musical Writing in the Middle Ages”. The ensemble has performed in Spain, France, Portugal and Italy.

“Oiet”, an ensemble created by Raphaële Soumagnas and myself, resulting from a previous project called “Parchemins et par voies” started in 2010 by a group of students from the Paris-Sorbonne Medieval Music Practice Master. Oiet has been focused on vocal programmes, with variable configurations, being the latest: “Au renouveler du joli temps. Musique vocale des XIIe aux XIVe siècles à voix de femmes“ for three singers, “Veni dilecta mea. L´amour mystique et l´amour humain dans la musique au Moyen Âge“, also for three singers (mixed voices) and "O Mundi lampas, Sainte Marie-Madeleine, une fête au XIIe siècle" for four singers (mixed voices). The ensemble has been in residence at the "Cité de la voix" (Vézelay, Burgundy) on July 2014.

Demo of the ensemble Oiet, registered on July 2014 at the roman Basilica Saint Mary Magdalene of Vézelay (Burgundy) by Elsa Desjardins, from the music label: CORDES ET AMES. Singers: Vincent Pislar, Raphaële Soumagnas, Mathias Spoerry and Paloma Gutiérrez del Arroyo.

Cantaderas is a new ensemble created by Ana Arnaz in 2015. It is devoted to Spanish traditional music and its relationship with specific Medieval repertoires, and, more generally, with specific Early Music repertoires. It is composed of four singers: Ana Arnaz, Anne-Marie Lablaude, June Telletxea and myself, all of us coming from Early Music singing studies and having all worked with the specialist Dominique Vellard. The premiere took place in the 2016's edition of the Festivoce of Pigna, Corsica. Ever since we've performed in Spain (Ipiés (Huesca), Urueña, Ronda, Baiona, Madrid), France (Sigolsheim, Le Thoronet, Mont St. Michel), Switzerland (Basel, Witterswil), Germany (Naugarten, Dresden, Altfriedland), Poland (Osno Lubuskie)… Our first CD, “As festas do anno”, recorded on November 2018 at the “Cité de la Voix” (Vézelay, France), has been released by the French label Arion in October 2020.

Collaborations: I perform or have performed with the Spanish ensembles “Ars Combinatoria” and “Malandança”, the Italian ensembles: “La Frottola” and “La Reverdie”, and the French ensembles and projects: "Dialogos", “Azalaïs”, “Contrafacta”, "Le Jardin des Délices", "La compagnie Orion" and “Rosace”. In duo with the singers: Catherine Schroeder and Elodie Mourot, the harpist Manuel Vilas, the multi-instrumentalist Bill Cooley, with the actor Philippe Borrini (www.borriniphilippe.fr) and with the story teller: Carole Visconti.  I've also collaborated with the Cum Jubilo ensemble, assuming the artistic co-direction of their latest recording, which took place on November 2015 at the Fontevraud Abbey (France).

From the collaboration with the great harpist Manuel Vilas sprang a project about the troubadour Bernart de Ventadorn, which was recorded and recently released by the label Etcetera-records: “Bernart de Ventadorn - Chantador de joi d’amor”. We keep on working in new projects.
