carles marigó

Marigó has brought his music to audiences across Europe and beyond, performing as a soloist and with ensembles in Spain, Switzerland, Portugal, Germany, Denmark, England, Russia, and New Zealand. His deep emotional expression and technical mastery have established him as a musician who does more than perform—he creates immersive, intimate moments where audiences feel personally connected to the music.

His innovative spirit has led to numerous artist residencies, including La Pedrera in Barcelona (2017), Atlàntida in Vic (2020), La Marfà in Girona (2020-2021), Zamus Zentrum für Alte Musik Köln in Germany (2021), and Fabra i Coats, Fàbriques de Creació (2025). These residencies have provided a platform for him to premiere his own compositions and collaborate with contemporary composers such as Josep Soler i Sardà, Hector Parra, Joan Magrané, Raffaele Grimaldi, Sara Cubarsi, and Helena Cànoves, among others.

A passionate advocate for revitalizing classical music, Marigó has recorded for major broadcasters, including BBC Radio 3, WDR in Cologne, RTVE, TV3, Canal 33, Catalunya Ràdio, and Catalunya Música. His work is a continuous dialogue between tradition and innovation, always seeking new ways to reimagine the classical repertoire, champion contemporary composers, and rediscover forgotten gems from the past.

His artistic vision has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Premio Melómano de Oro for his album Papa Bach, the Castafiore Prize from Núvol magazine, and the SOS Cultura award from the Carulla Foundation for the #SafeBubble project. He was also awarded the Barcelona Crea grant, further cementing his reputation as an artist committed to innovation and artistic exploration.

Beyond the stage, Marigó is deeply invested in music education, teaching improvisation at ESMUC and the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu. He is also a specialist in the Emilio Molina IEM methodology, guiding new generations of musicians to embrace improvisation as a means of creative expression. His approach to teaching reflects his artistic philosophy: music is not just a skill to be perfected but a language of connection and identity.

His artistry has been profoundly shaped by the mentorship of Vladislav Bronevetsky and Irina Plodnikova, as well as invaluable insights from masterclasses with Nelson Goerner, Elisabeth Leonskaja, Barry Douglas, Christian Zacharias, Paul Badura-Skoda, and Jacques Rouvier. These experiences, supported by scholarships from CEP, CoNCA, and AIE, have played a fundamental role in shaping his boundary-pushing vision of music.

At the core of his work is INNER VOICE, a project that marks a profound artistic milestone in his career. After years of interpreting and reimagining the works of other composers, INNER VOICE is the first project where Marigó presents a program composed entirely of his own original music. More than just a concert, it is a personal and artistic statement, a moment of complete openness where he invites the audience into his creative world. The program embodies his philosophy of constant experimentation, integrating artificial intelligence not as the focal point, but as an organic part of the musical dialogue. With a style that draws comparisons to iconic artists like J. S. Bach, Elton John, Jacob Collier, Niels Frahm, and Keith Jarrett, Carles Marigó stands as a beacon of innovation in the classical music world. At its heart, INNER VOICE is about human expression, vulnerability, and the power of music to create genuine connections.

For Carles Marigó, music is not just about notes and structures—it is about people, emotions, and shared moments. Every concert is an invitation to celebrate, connect, and rediscover the transformative power of sound.
