MERCÈ HERVADA i SALA

PIANIST

Musically trained between Barcelona and Budapest, I combine my skills as a pianist and teacher, uniting my passion and my vocation in these two complementary ways.

As a pianist, I like to stay active. I like to stay in shape. As a repertoire, I have a wealth of time and play in various formats, always with new projects in hand.

I have a duo with the OBC solo trumpeter, Mireia Farrés, with whom I have shared the stage for over 20 years, or the Venetian Cello, with the great cellist founder of the Quartet Casals, Arnau Tomàs, with whom I have been interpreting music by Vivaldi and Bach for two years in various festivals.

At a teaching level, I fully involve myself to get the best out of each one and to enhance their strengths so that the students can achieve a high level of knowledge, study and motivation. I develop this activity mainly teaching at the IEA Oriol Martorell in Barcelona and the Isaac Albéniz Conservatory in Girona.

I think it's good for musicians to support each other, that's why I'm a member of Acimc, the Catalan Association of Classical Music Performers and the Catalan Academy of Music.

I am a versatile pianist, in constant evolution and with a lot of new projects to come!
