PROJECTS & COLLABORATIONS
PALKO & Co
Yearly chambermusic projects in June & November: Concerts, masterclasses, nature, litterature, gastronomy... on the island Bru outside Stavanger, Norway.
Spain is home to some of the world's most outstanding musical talents and professionals. It's common to find Spanish musicians excelling as soloists, and in the most prestigious orchestras across the globe. I feel very fortunate to share the stage and a deep friendship with many of them!

The duo PALKO-BOLÓN, whose journey began when Voro (Salvador) walked into my chambermusic class at MUSIKENE, is united by a deep friendship and numerous shared musical moments. The duos various programs features grand works for cello and piano, and also includes representative works by Spanish composers. Voro currently holds the positions of Associate Principal Cello of the London Symphony Orchestra and solo cello with the Les Arts Orchestra of Valencia.
Duo with JAVIER COMESAÑA, violin
I met Javier when he received a scholarship at my festival, the Turina Festival. Now, we will finally perform together as colleagues. The duo will make their highly anticipated debut in Seville in November 2025. For both of us, Seville is not only our home, but also the place where our musical journey began at the Festival Turina in 2011. Javier was the winner of the 6th edition of the Jascha Heifetz International Competition in Vilnius (2021), he was awarded the prestigious Prinz von Hessen-Preis from the Kronberg Academy, and in December 2024, he received the honorary medal from the Yehudi Menuhin España Foundation.

Shared moments of music and trust, and masterclasses together in Spain, Italy, Norway, Germany... Always remembering our dear mentor and teacher György Sebök.
"ÓBELON TRIO" with OLATZ and VORO
I met Olatz at the "Festival Turina", another of the wonderful connections the work with my festival has given me. Over the years, our collaboration has grown, and today we form the ÓBELON trio along with Voro. It's an honor to have been with them since their beginnings more than 15 years ago and to see this trio solidify, with Olatz now as concertmaster of the Galicia Symphony Orchestra and Salvador as associate principal cello of the London Symphony Orchestra.
