Composer and pianist. A career built work by work, between Spain and Denmark, with the piano as its expressive axis.
"I feel that music is like the blood running through my veins. I am music."
Alicia Sevilla Redondo was born in Valencia and studied composition at the Conservatorio Profesional de Torrent. Since then she has written for theatre, documentary, film and video games, alongside her own works for piano, string quartet and orchestra. She has worked mainly between Spain and Denmark, where she lived for a long period. She is now based in Valencia.
She is also a qualified music teacher with a postgraduate degree in Waldorf pedagogy. Besides the piano she plays the harp, sings, and turns her hand to violin and cello; she paints and she conducts. All of it feeds one purpose: to communicate essential emotions with a singular sensibility.
