Ángela Aguareles

Described by Philippe Jaroussky as “a young musician of already great musical maturity”, and by Anne Gastinel as a “fantastic musician with a big artistic expression”, Spanish cellist Ángela Aguareles (Zaragoza, 2002) currently studies at the Hochschule für Musik “Hanns Eisler” Berlin, admitted in 2019 when she was 17 years old.

At age 19 she received a full scholarship to join the Académie Musicale Philippe Jaroussky in Paris, selected as a Jeune Talent of the “Promotion Debussy” and studying with prof. Anne Gastinel.

A laureate finalist of Suggia International Competition 2024, she performed Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto with Porto Symphony Orchestra (OspCM). She has worked with conductors such as Pedro Neves, Mathieu Herzog (Quatour Ébène) and performed as soloist in halls such as Seine Musical (Paris) or Mozart Concert Hall (Spain).

She loves the world of chamber music, and takes part in different festivals internationally, including the Festival de Aix en Provance, Festival Resonances (Belgium), ChamberLab (Toscana, Italy), TONALi Akademie Hamburg, or Musethica Festival, performing regularly throughout Europe, in halls such as Konzerthaus Berlin, Herkulessaal München, Tonali Saal Hamburg and Casa da Música Porto, among others.

She has received several prizes and scholarships, currently a scholarship holder of Stibet DAAD Stipendium, PROMOS Scholarship and Deutschlandstipendium. Most recently she has been awarded with the grant from Ottilie-Selbach-Redslob Stiftung, in December 2024.
 

Since 2025 she plays an Italian cello from 1884, built in Bergamo by Antonio Rovetta, kindly loaned by the German foundation Albert von Eckstein.
