Marcelino
Echeverría Guitarist

Marcelino Echeverría was born in Buenos Aires and began playing the guitar at the age of twelve. He studied at the Conservatorio Manuel de Falla in Buenos Aires with Víctor Villadangos and later at the Universidad Nacional de las Artes (UNA) with Javier Bravo. During his training, he actively participated in seminars, including in Córdoba (Argentina) and Santa Catarina (Brazil), where he received lessons from renowned masters such as Eduardo Isaac and Carlos Pérez. During this time, he gave numerous concerts, both as a chamber musician and as a soloist with orchestra. In 2014 he won the María Luisa Anidon International Competition and in 2015 another competition organised by the Departamento de Artes Musicales y Sonoras of the UNA. These successes enabled him to continue his studies outside Argentina. In 2016 and 2018, he was an active participant in a seminar organised by the master Pablo Márquez. After his admission to the Basel Music Academy, he completed two master's programmes there, one in musical interpretation and one in music pedagogy, as well as a postgraduate diploma in interpretation. He is also currently completing his final specialisation in early music at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with Xavier Díaz-Latorre. In the 25/26 season, he will be performing at Theater Basel in the production ‹El barberillo de Lavapiés›, directed by Christof Loy.
