ROBERTO ALVAREZ
Diversity of styles is a hallmark of Roberto’s concerts and recitals. As a matter of fact, Roberto feels just as comfortable performing classical, baroque or avant-garde music as well as celtic, jazz or rock. He is one of the most sought-after musicians in Singapore.
Born in Asturias, on the Northern coast of Spain, Roberto Alvarez studied under the tutorship of Myra and Peter Pearse, from the Asturias Symphony Orchestra. He progressed to the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, studying under Richard Davis, Peter Lloyd and Patricia Morris.
He shows his interest not only in classical formations, but has also participated in several jazz and folk groups, always looking for new sonorities for the flute, and has performed the music of his region all over Europe.
Roberto’s passion for performing new music has led him to record La Noche with harpist Katryna Tan. In this CD he shows his artistry performing pieces especially written for him by composers from Spain and Singapore.
In addition to his performances he is an enthusiastic flute teacher, having given masterclasses extensively in Youth Orchestras and Festivals in Asia and Europe. He currently teaches at the School of the Arts (SOTA) and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA), both schools in Singapore.
Roberto is the Piccolo Soloist at the Singapore Symphony Orchestra since July 2007.
