Albert Martin, new portrait for the project "Barcelona, retrats de proximitat" / by Toni Ricart

Albert has been my cello teacher for several years now and I thank him for his useful lessons and his great patience towards me. Both in his classes and when he conducts us in the chamber ensemble, he knows how to transmit his criteria with effective conviction and always with a touch of almost British humor, probably inherited from his student days in Cardiff and London.

Albert Martin began his musical studies at the Escolania de la Catedral de Barcelona. Subsequently, he studied cello at the Luthier School and later at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff and Trinity College of Music in London.
He is currently a member of the Sant Cugat Symphony Orchestra and the Manfred Quartet of Barcelona.
Since 2014 he has been conducting the OCA, a string orchestra formed by amateur musicians.
