Salvador Rojo Gamón

I began my studies of the clarinet at the conservatory of Vall d’Uixó and the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Valencia, where I also studied piano, harmony, counterpoint, and fugue, completing my academic training with studies in composition at the Conservatorio Superior de Música of Badajoz. I attended conducting classes with renowned maestros such as Roberto Forés, Enrique García Asensio, Gilberto Serembe, Manuel Galduf, Jesús Amigo, Miguel Rodrigo Tamarit, and Álvaro Albiach, and completed the specialization course of conducting at the Atlantic Coast International Conducting Academy, where I received conducting classes by Luis Clemente and Colin Metters.

With Sociedad Unión Musical Santa Cecilia de Moncofa, I obtained the second award in the second section of the Certamen de Bandas Provincial de Castellón and the first award with honours mention in the Certamen Internacional de Música “Ciutat de València.” I have been invited conductor in various ensembles, and nowadays I am a teacher of music theory at the Badajoz’s School of Music. As a composer, I have written scores for symphonic orchestras, wind orchestras, chamber music, ensembles, soloists, piano, or choirs. My work Exodus won the 2010 Maestro Villa de Madrid award and was premiered by the Symphonic Wind Band of Madrid with Enrique García Asensio as conductor. In recent years, I have balanced concert works with scoring works for videogames, documentaries, advertisement or short films.
