Born in Vic in 1996, Ernesto Martínez began his musical studies at the Conservatori de Vic under the guidance of his guitar teacher Francisco Gamallo. During his formative years, he attended masterclasses with Carles Trepat and Eduardo Martín, and continued his musical development with the organist Modest Moreno. After completing his studies at the Conservatori de Vic, he later pursued the Victoria dels Àngels Lied Master’s program at ESMUC as a guitar accompanist. A prizewinner in several international competitions — including First Prize in the Guitar category and the overall prize at the I saac Albéniz Competition — he has been performing solo recitals since 2010. Since then, he has appeared in numerous cities across Spain and Italy, including Barcelona, Catania, Bilbao, Alicante, Vic, Elx, and Lleida. As a chamber musician, he is active in the Lied repertoire as an accompanying guitarist and has been a member of the chamber group Lira Orfeu Miquel Llobet. He also participated in the CD Escola de Barcelona 12x6, a project in which prominent guitarists interpret Fernando Alonso’s arrangements in homage to the composer. Currently, he combines his solo concert career with teaching at the Acadèmia Marshall.
