Biographies

Missing Link is a collective and multi-dimensional project, working to rebuild the bond between performers and composers, and between audiences and contemporary music. We intend to bring performers and composers closer together in an intimate setting, thus providing dialogues between them and generating the space to work in a bi-directional way. This generates a virtuous cycle that was so present in past times. We present new music that is accessible in a way that leaves both audiences and performers radiant in their shared musical experience. Recreate, Bond, Connect, & Believe are the words that drive us to create this project in a way that is growing every day. Missing Link has performed at the Fundación Beethoven in Buenos Aires, as well as at the Aula Magna at the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. They have conducted masterclasses at the Conservatorio Superior de Música Astor Piazzolla, the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, and the Conservatorio de Música Felix Garzón.
