About

Roc Fargas i Castells, originally from Barcelona, is a scholarship holder of the Conducting Forum of the German Music Council. After studying musicology at the University of Cambridge, he completed a master’s degree in historical performance practice and orchestral conducting at the Royal Academy of Music in London with Prof. Sian Edwards. He received prestigious scholarships from Banco Sabadell, the British Spanish Society, and the Royal Academy of Music. He then moved to Germany to complete his Konzertexamen in orchestral conducting under the guidance of Prof. Nicolás Pasquet and Ekhart Wycik at the Franz Liszt University of Music in Weimar.

‘I simply could not have managed this without Roc’s talents to reorchestrate, listen and instantly recognise issues regarding tuning, ensemble and how to fix them, and perhaps most importantly how to impart good cheer to his colleagues and give them the confidence to be able to give their best.’ – Laurence Cummings, Music Director of the Academy of Ancient Music
