Ramon Figueras Alsius

Trumpeter, Musical Artist and Producer

Profile

I am a versatile artist with more than 20 years of career dedicated exclusively to music. With a solid classical training and proven experience in a wide range of genres and projects, I have performed and collaborated both locally and internationally. I currently combine the principal trumpet position at the Banda Municipal de Barcelona with the Doctor Prats project, and develop my work as a music producer and freelance musician in recordings and other artistic initiatives. My goal is to keep growing as a musician and artist, and to share this passion by inspiring others through music.
