In recent years, I have worked on various musical projects that now form the core of my musical activities. Together with other musicians, we strive to present music proposals that are outstanding both in content and performance.

In 2022, Grupo Beroly published the sheet music, featuring all 10 compositions and arrangements for solo cello.
