Paco Montalvo “Alma Del Violín Flamenco”
Paco Montalvo (born 19 November 1992) is a Spanish classical musician and creator of flamenco violin as the main voice. He is the youngest violinist to make a 21st-century debut in the main hall of Carnegie Hall in New York City.
Paco Montalvo’s interest in music began when he was quite young. His family introduced him to the violin at an early age. He began by taking lessons from his father at the age of five. Since then, he has studied with Yuri Petrossian and Nestor Eidler, who was a disciple of Szentgÿorgyi and David Oistrach. He gave his first recital at the age of six. When he was twelve years old, he made his debut with the Spanish Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra in Madrid, Spain. In March 2014, Paco Montalvo was included by Nestle as one of the four most outstanding violinists of the 21st century.
Following his debut with the Spanish Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra, Montalvo began a prolific public career, performing as a soloist with numerous orchestras and in festivals and recitals all over Europe, Asia, and America. At the age of 17, one of his international appearances was made with the Israel Symphony Orchestra in Tel-Aviv, Israel. The concert was such a success that, less than a year later, Montalvo was invited to perform as a soloist in the legendary Carnegie Hall.
On April 24, 2011, Montalvo gave a historic performance in New York’s emblematic Carnegie Hall. Accompanied by the New England Symphonic Orchestra and conducted by British composer John Rutter, he played Nicolo Paganini’s Concerto No. 1 with such technical mastery and maturity that American critics hailed him as a “dazzling” musician, saying that his solos “thrilled the audience.” Paco Montalvo is the first violinist of the 21st century to debut in the Stern Auditorium on the Perelman Stage there at the age of 18.
