Antonio Guerrero Sánchez's Profile

Background:

I was born in Córdoba in 2000 and showed a keen interest in music from a young age. I began my violin studies at the Professional Conservatory of Music of Córdoba when I was 8 years old, and I completed my studies with the highest grades. When I turned 18, I moved to Madrid to pursue a Higher Degree in Music at the Royal Conservatory of Music of Madrid, where I had the privilege of studying under the guidance of Ana María Valderrama. She has profoundly influenced both my instrumental skills and personal growth. After graduating in 2023, I enrolled in a Master's Degree program in Music Therapy at the International University of La Rioja. Simultaneously, I became a member of the Andalusian Youth Orchestra, offering me opportunities to collaborate with internationally acclaimed conductors. I also joined the Academy of Orchestral Studies of the Barenboim-Said Foundation, benefiting from the supervision of Branislav Sisel. Furthermore, I am a founding member of the CordoBaroque Ensemble, a group that has enabled me to explore baroque music using historicist criteria, under the direction of José Manuel Navarro. Throughout my musical journey, I have taken advanced courses instructed by renowned figures such as Jeff Thayer, Carole Petitdemange, Helena Satué, and Kennedy Moretti. In terms of achievements, I secured the First Prize in the “Marcos Pedro Moreno Jiménez” National Violin Competition in 2011, within the Elementary Teachings category. Additionally, I clinched the First Prize in the XII “Lorenzo Palomo” Chamber Music Competition in 2018, in the Professional Teaching category. Driven by a passion for teaching, I began offering private violin and musical language lessons in 2015. During the 2022/2023 academic year, I provided extracurricular violin and piano instruction at the Santa María de los Rosales School in Aravaca, Madrid. Currently, I am embarking on a new role as a violin and musical language instructor at the Guadalix de la Sierra Music School in Madrid for the 2023/2024 academic year.
