“... The delicate interpretation of the Barcelona Clarinet Players helps them own the music they perform, filling it with nuances, feeling and expressiveness ...”
BCP's performances stand out for their remarkable chamber music work and their carefully crafted, energetic, and vibrant staging.
With over a decade of trajectory, they have premiered works by renowned composers such as Arturo Márquez, Paquito D'Rivera, Daniel Freiberg, Óscar Navarro, Victoriano Valencia, Rubén Darío Gómez, José Manuel López López, Raquel García-Tomás, Bernat Vivancos, Joan Magrané, Enric Palomar, and Núria Núñez Hierro, among many others.
Their commitment to the creation of new original works for symphonic band is truly admirable. They have commissioned thirteen pieces specifically written for this format, as well as a solo quartet. The quality of their work has earned them three Latin Grammy nominations.
They have also shared the stage with major artists such as Paquito D'Rivera, pianist Marco Mezquida, and flamenco singer Pere Martínez. They have released eight award-winning albums that explore a wide range of styles—from jazz and klezmer to flamenco, symphonic music, and avant-garde.
Their tours have taken them across the United States, Latin America, and Europe, where they have presented their projects and offered masterclasses at prestigious universities. They have also participated in major international festivals such as the JIWF in South Korea, the Midwest Clinic in Chicago, and TMEA in San Antonio.
As soloists, they have performed with top-level ensembles such as the Lone Star Wind Orchestra, the North Texas Wind Symphony, the Barcelona Municipal Band, the Palma de Mallorca Municipal Band, the Bilbao Municipal Band, and the UNAM Symphonic Band, under the baton of conductors like Eugene Corporon, Tim Reynish, Luís Manuel Sánchez, Miguel Etchegoncelay, and José Rafael Pascual Vilaplana, among others.
