Works by
Jordi Azagra
Jordi Azagra was born in Barcelona. His musical spirit having been fostered by his mother, and coming as he does from a family with a tradition in music, he started his musical studies at the age of 7, entering the Higher School of Music of Barcelona one year later. There he qualified as a pianist and in music theory, he having combined those pursuits with his general and university studies.
During that period he combined recitals with teaching work and composition, writing works for both accomplished performers and for young ones. Most of his works have been given their first performance in various venues in Catalonia ' his little suite 'Joguines' (Toys) was recorded and broadcast by Ràdio 4 in a performance by the internationally reputed Cuban group Trío Habana.
He has been the director of the Municipal Music School in Parets del Vallès (province of Barcelona) since 1989, and has worked with the students there to put on musical shows such as 'El planeta musical' (the musical planet), a musical story of his own, and 'Bandes sonores' (sound tracks), a concert of film music in which acoustic instruments are combined with electronic music.
In the professional field, he has combined his work as a soloist with his role as a pianist in various ensembles, working in classical music, jazz and rock, while also continuing his work as an arranger for various groups. He is a regular member of the jury panels for musical events in his district, and worked as the musical director of the Joves Colles Geganteres (groups for young people interested in the local 'puppet-giants'-parade' tradition) in Paret, for whom he has written a total of 11 pieces for traditional instruments, ranging from dances for the puppet giants and animals in the parades to music for firework shows
