BIOGRAPHY

David Bozzo was born on 23rd of September 1980 in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, in a family in which music has always been an important part of culture. He got his first contacts with music through his father, organist at the Royal Monastery in Sant Cugat. His son’s increasing interest for this discipline made him enrol six-year-old David in musical studies at a no-longer existing private school named Talleda-Ricomà. He received his first lessons on music theory from school founder Carme Talleda (composer, pianist and pedagogue). The following year he began learning to play the violin with the now deceased Josep Graells.

In the year 2000 he took the test to access Conservatori Municipal de Música in Barcelona where he began the professional studies of music on violin specialization in september of the same year. In this conservatory he studied violin with Francesc Guarné and, in the last year, with Iwona Burzinska. But the studies of harmony and fundamentals of composition with Xavier Boliart and analysis widening with Carles Guinovart are the reason because David was interested in composition; a field he had already experimented by himself during this period of studies. During the years he spent at the conservatory he also received lessons from composer Albert Sardà, who encouraged him to leave Barcelona in order to continue his studies and suggested to him the Conservatori Superior de Música Salvador Seguí in Castelló de la Plana, and Albert Argudo, conductor of the conservatory's orchestra where David played as part of his professional music studies.

During his studies at this conservatory he has received advice of maestro Ferrer Ferran and the composers César Cano and Emilio Calandín among others.

During the first 4 years of studies at Castellón's conservatory, David, widened his violin knowledge with maestro Eduardo Arnau, finishing in the last year playing works like Bach's Chaconne from Second Partita for violin solo and part of Max Bruch's Violin Concert in g minor. His opus for violin solo Recitativo y Fuga (EAG) is an homenage to his violin teacher in Castellón as gratitude for the years of studies with He.
