The Artist

Spanish pianist Guillem León has recently been praised by La Vanguardia for his “remarkable musical intelligence and intuition”. He has started a multinational career, performing in venues across Spain and in Portugal, Italy, Poland, England and the United States. Within his birth city of Barcelona, he has performed in the Palau de la Música Catalana (Sala de Concerts and Petit Palau), the Gran Teatre del Liceu, and the Casa Elizalde among others. He has also given performances in Teatros del Canal in Madrid, Musical Arts Center and Auer Hall at Indiana University Bloomington and last year at St Bride’s

Apart from his solo work, he has also had extensive experience in collaborative music, recently with mezzo-soprano Cristina Tena in the Música Z concert cycle in Barcelona.

Guillem has been awarded first prizes at the BMF International Competition in New York and the Tiziano Rossetti International Competition in Switzerland. In 2021 he received a VSA International Young Soloist award from the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, as well as a full scholarship to attend the Semana Internacional de Piano de Obidos in Portugal.

After finishing his Bachelor’s in Conservatori del Liceu with José Enrique Bagaría under a full scholarship from Fundació Ferrer-Salat, Guillem completed his MA at the Royal Academy of Music with Tatiana Sarkissova and is currently on the Professional Diploma programme.
