Víctor Amadeu Puigbò Rincón
Víctor Amadeu Puigbò Rincón from Spain will represent the saxophone in the final of Category II.
Víctor Amadeu Puigbò Rincón started playing the piano at the age of four and soon came to love classical music. Two years later, he added the violoncello to his instruments. He studied the saxophone at the IEA Oriol Martorell Conservatory in Barcelona from the age of seven. The saxophone eventually became his main instrument. Intensive studies and improvements in his playing technique have led him all the way to the finale of the several national competitions, such as the BBVA competition, which is held regularly in Catalonia. Last year, he qualified as the Catalonian representative in the final round of the Intercentros Melómano competition and he performed as a soloist in Alexander Glazunov’s Concerto for Saxophone with the conservatory orchestra.
