About Marta Espinós

Marta Espinós was a student of Joaquín Achúcarro in the Artist Certificate and Masters program at the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Marta is one of the legacy pianists of the Joaquín Achúcarro Foundation.

Marta specializes in the period least explored at the modern piano: the Baroque. An enthusiast performer of Bach, Marta is known for her insightful performance of the Goldberg Variations, which have received praise from the critics.

Marta is an active searcher of new formulas allowing a more fluid communication with her public, in order to make classical and contemporary music more approachable and enjoyable to all audiences. She explores the repertoire from a cross-disciplinary perspective, aiming at revealing unconventional aspects of music through lecture concerts, workshops for non-musicians, audiovisual and multimedia shows, thematic recitals and other stage recipes combining the arts. Furthermore, Marta’s solo career extends to other music styles, particularly in combination with avant-garde artistic disciplines.
