Biografie

The constant evolution and artistic openness of Alfredo Ovalles as a musician make him difficult to categorize. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, the pianist has explored many different musical worlds. The combination of his classical upbringing, in parallel with his experience playing in rock and pop bands in Caracas “made music seem like one single world, where borders are very blurry and performances in one genre inform the approach to a different, seemingly unrelated kind of stage”.

In the course of his career, Alfredo has explored classical and electronic music, and roamed the field of contemporary music. His curiosity for the new and love for experimentation make him stand out, and have led him to many musical places off the beaten track.

Performing in some of the most prestigious festivals in Europe, such as Wien Modern, Transart Festival in Bolzano, and the Warsaw Autumn Festival, his collaboration with The Black Page Orchestra has led him from performing Stockhausen in an abandoned submarine pier in Croatia to premiering ensemble and solo works in venues such as the Lutoslawski Hall of the Polish National Radio or the Wiener Konzerthaus. Composers with whom Alfredo has collaborated include names such as Jorge Sánchez-Chiong, John Zorn, Roberto Sierra, and Mirela Ivicevic.

As committed to finding new compositions as to performing the standard repertoire, Alfredo is also in demand as soloist and chamber musician, having played concerts with orchestras such as the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Polish Baltic Philharmonic in Gdansk, Poland, the Orchestra of the Academic and Musical Theater of Minsk, Belarus, and the National Symphony Orchestra of the Dominican Republic, among others.
