Juan Manuel Abras (Spanish pronunciation: [xwaŋ maˈnwel ˈaβɾas]; during the 18th century, also written Arbres; born Juan Manuel Abras Contel; February 1, 1975) is a Swedish-born Argentine classical music composer, conductor and researcher of European descent (Catalan and Galician on his father's side[1] and Basque, Italian and French on his mother's side).[2]

Background and education[edit]

Born[3] in Stockholm (Sweden), and then raised in Geneva (Switzerland) and Madrid (Spain), Juan Manuel Abras received his music education while living in Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and Argentina along with his family (his father being a diplomat and journalist, his mother being a sociologist and piano teacher[4]). A disciple of Krzysztof Penderecki, Kurt Schwertsik and Roberto García Morillo, Abras completed both postgraduate and graduate studies in Musical composition (University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, Academy of Music in Kraków and 'Manuel de Falla' Superior Conservatory of Music Buenos Aires), while attending master classes and courses by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Helmut Lachenmann, Wolfgang Rihm and Alexander Müllenbach. At the same time, Juan Manuel Abras studied Orchestral conducting (completing both postgraduate and graduate studies) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (with Leopold Hager) and 'Manuel de Falla' Superior Conservatory of Music Buenos Aires, as well as privately with Guillermo Scarabino, while pursuing internships and courses with Michael Gielen (at the Berlin State Opera), Ervin Acél and Dominique Fanal. Prior to that, he completed studies in Piano—first taught to him by his mother during his childhood—(Municipal Superior Conservatory of Music San Sebastián, Conservatorio di Musica Benedetto Marcello di Venezia—with Giovanni Umberto Battel—, Centro de Estudios Musicales Juan de Antxieta Musikaltegia Bilbao—with Luis Fernando Barandiarán—and 'Carlos López Buchardo' National Conservatory of Music—with Ana Litovsky-Grünwald and Elizabeth Fiocca—, now the Music Department of the Instituto Universitario Nacional del Arte). He also obtained both a Bachelor's degree and a License degree in History (University of Deusto and Universidad del Salvador), while attending master classes and courses in Musicology, Musical pedagogy, Music history, Harpsichord, and Marketing and cultural policies.

Career and awards[edit]

Juan Manuel Abras has been considered by specialized music critics as "a genuine representative of Argentine music [...] for premiering works that reveal a rooting in the musical heritage of the country"[5] and as "a firm promise of Argentine music abroad." [6] Musicologists have stated that in his musical works "there are, apart from the psychoanalysis [...] references to literature, religion, archaeology, etc."[7] and that "variety is also found in [...] [Abras'] musical language,"[8] which contains "in fact a unity, by nature inaudible [...] realised each time through the different styles."[9] In his musical piece 'Chacarera beatboxera', for instance, "Abras united in a whole elements taken from ethnic music, ancient popular melodies and New Music, creating a dancing whirlwind somewhat 'trance', full of solar joy and amusement,"[10] while during the Finnish premiere of his musical composition 'The song of Anna O.' he "took the listener to a world of rhythmically latent fantasy, similar to a haunted castle."[11]

Juan Manuel Abras has created more than a half hundred musical compositions (for symphony/chamber orchestra/ensemble and/or choir with/without soloists, stage, solo instrument, electroacoustic sounds, etc.) (see below), many of which have been performed[12] at: International Gaudeamus Music Week (Netherlands), International Festival of Contemporary Music 'Warsaw Autumn' (Poland), Festival MANCA (France), Time of Music Festival (Finland), International Forum of New Music 'Manuel Enríquez' (Mexico), Festival 'Le Printemps des Poètes' (France), International Festival Discantus (Mexico), International Festival of Contemporary Music 'Krakow Composers' Days' (Poland), Salzburg Mozarteum (Austria), Hellerau - Europäisches Zentrum der Künste Dresden (Germany), Bimhuis-Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ (Netherlands), International Research and Information Centre 'Thracica' (Bulgaria), Palacio de Bellas Artes (Mexico), LRA Radio Nacional Auditorium (Argentina), Columbia University (USA), York University (Canada), University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna (Austria), University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), California State University (USA), Théâtre Dunois (France), Filharmonia Łódzka im. Artura Rubinsteina (Poland), Teatro Colón (Argentina), etc. His current discography (see below) includes works featured in 6 CDs published in Austria, France, Poland and Argentina.
