Julia Sanchez

Argentine composer and conductor based in Spain, whose work stands at the intersection of the symphonic tradition and a contemporary cinematic sensibility.

Musical Language

Defined by a clear narrative drive, intense emotional depth, and pronounced melodic lyricism, her musical language explores the tension between vulnerability, courage, and dramatic strength.

Artistic Practice

Her artistic practice unfolds in constant dialogue between the stage, the symphonic realm, and the audiovisual world. Her works have been presented in cities such as Helsinki, Buenos Aires, Copenhagen, Madrid, Lima, Los Angeles, and Manila, among others.

Catalogue

Her catalogue includes symphonic works, incidental music, audiovisual projects, and pieces involving real-time technology and processing, such as i2, awarded by Argentina’s National Arts Fund. Her work has been supported by institutions such as AIE – Artists Society of Spain.

Music

Her music is conceived as a scenic and emotional experience: a space where tradition engages with the present, and where each work proposes a journey designed to connect deeply with diverse audiences.
