MARCO PÉREZ-RAMIREZ
French-Chilean composer, he was born in Santiago de Chile.
After studying classical guitar with Alberto Ponce, he went on to study composition, as well as mathematics at university level. He was first exposed to 20th century music, before exploring romantic, classical and baroque music, so there is no sense of chronological progression in his studies: "His experience differs from that of many of his colleagues. His unorthodox path gives his music a clearly personal strength (Tristan Murail)".
After receiving awards from the Aram Khatchaturian Foundation, the Boucourechliev Foundation and UNESCO, he was selected to join the Ircam Composition and Computer Music Course in 1996.
After these experiences, his meeting with Luca Francesconi was essential for his creative development. "From the first glance at his scores I noticed the impulse and fire of a real composer. His musical material is full of life and ideas, burning with great intensity. His peculiar taste for sound is like looking for poetry in matter: in a certain way he listens to what I would call the expressiveness of matter (Luca Francesconi) ".
His music has been widely performed in places like the Venice Biennale, the Paris Philharmonic, Salle Pleyel, La Fenice Theatre, the Cité de la Musique, the Enescu Festival in Bucharest... by ensembles and orchestras such as the Radio France Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Orchestra of France, the Théâtre de la Fenice Orchestra, the Bucharest Symphony Orchestra, the Ensemble Intercontemporain, the Ile de France National Orchestra, the Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Strasbourg Percussions.

CARLOS ZAMORA
Chilean composer, who currently lives in the city of York in the United Kingdom. His music has been performed on five continents and he is currently one of the Chilean composers whose music is most performed both in Chile and abroad.
Zamora's catalogue exceeds one hundred works, almost all of which have been premiered and recorded on more than 27 compact discs. In them, Zamora's interest in the recontextualisation of the sound imaginary of pre-Columbian cultures, especially in the north of Chile, is clearly evident.
Since 2016 he has been based in the city of York, England, where he completed his PhD in Composition at the University of York, under the supervision of Thomas Simaku. During this period he received the two prizes awarded by the University: "Sir Jack Lyons Award 2016" for composing a Concerto for Recorder and Chamber Orchestra, and the "Terry Holmes Commission Award 2017" for composing a Concerto for Piano and Orchestra.
