Description
Composer, researcher, and music educator. His research has focused on the study of the creative process, musical material, and the ontology of music from a perspective that integrates research-creation and the philosophy of music. His pedagogical work has concentrated on theoretical and practical areas such as solfège, harmony, counterpoint, music appreciation, analysis, and the philosophy of music. His compositions have been performed in Colombia, Mexico, the United States, Argentina, Switzerland, and France by prestigious musical ensembles such as CEPROMUSIC Ensemble, the Colombian Symphony Orchestra, and Alquimia Ensemble.
He has been a two-time winner of the National Composition Competition organized by the Caldas Symphony Orchestra. Part of his work is currently published by Cayambis Music Press in the United States.
