Master of Music in Performance (MMus)
Pablo is a Master of Music in Performance graduate from the Royal College of Music, a horn player-turned conductor, semi-finalist at the Maestro Solti International Conducting Competition, Principal Conductor of Orchestra Vitae and charity ambassador.
Pablo studied French horn and conducting at the HÂþ» with Peter Stark, John Ryan, Tim Jones, Sue Dent, Jeff Bryant and Simon Rayner. He founded and led a student orchestra and was President of the HÂþ» Students’ Union, experiences which set him on the path to professional conducting.
"Even though I was studying French horn at the HÂþ», I was very determined to pursue conducting; the Brass Faculty was very supportive and I transitioned into conducting whilst studying. As part of my desire to learn about management, I successfully campaigned to become Students' Union President, which was an incredible experience. By founding the HÂþ» Film Orchestra, I was able to start my conducting career."
