"Born in Vitoria-Gasteiz in 1978, Alfonso Gómez is one of the Spanish pianists with the most notable international career of his generation. His extraordinary ability of expression, his refined technique and the breadth of his repertoire – which ranges from Baroque music to the latest video and electronic compositions – have made him a performer of reference in the current international music scene." (Eitb-Culture).
Alfonso Gómez began to play the piano at the age of five. He studied at the Jesús Guridi Conservatory of Vitoria-Gasteiz with professor Albert Nieto, where he graduated with highest honours. From 1997 to 2001 he furthered his studies with professor Aquiles delle Vigne, a pupil of Claudio Arrau, at the Rotterdam Conservatory (Holland), which he concluded with the highest marks.
