Pablo
Sainz-Villegas
Pablo Sainz-Villegas has been hailed by the international press as the successor to Andrés Segovia and an ambassador of Spanish culture worldwide.
Pablo believes that music can unite people from all over the world, which is why he is a socially committed artist. In 2006, he founded the philanthropic project "Music Without Borders Legacy," through which he has shared his music with more than 45,000 children and young people worldwide. Additionally, as a tireless advocate for the development of the classical guitar repertoire, he has premiered numerous works, including the first piece written for guitar by the celebrated film composer and five-time Oscar winner John Williams,
as well as the duo "A Prayer for Peace" composed for Yo-Yo Ma and Pablo. He has also premiered compositions by Tomás Marco, Jesús Torres, María Dolores Malumbres, David del Puerto, and Sergio Assad, among others. With an eye toward a future with more performance opportunities for classical guitarists, Sainz-Villegas has commissioned guitar works from composers Arturo Márquez, Francisco Coll, and Laura Vega, to be premiered between 2023 and 2025.
In his words: "The guitar is an instrument of the people. It has the power to reach audiences and bridge the gap between classical music and pop culture."
