"Composition and pedagogy have marked my way of understanding life"

Carlota Baldrís · Composer and pedagogue
Her close relationship with popular and traditional music has been profoundly influenced by her origin in El Vendrell, dedicating many of her pieces to local popular culture groups. Furthermore, the figure of Pau Casals has been a constant reference, both for his musical dimension and his human commitment, understanding art as a tool for social transformation.
Baldrís was a key figure at the Escola Municipal de Música Pau Casals del Vendrell, where she served as a professor of musical language and harmony since its founding, and was director between 1998 and 2010. Currently, through Becluster, she promotes projects that connect creativity with other fields, such as emotions and neuromusic, fostering the exchange of ideas.
