Biography:
Spanish composer and percussionist David moliner (*1991) is considered one of the most promising artists of his generation. He studied with Pascal Dusapin and Jörg Widmann at the Haute école de musique de Genève, at the Berlin University of the Arts and at the Barenboim-Said-Akademie in Berlin.

He has written orchestral works, chamber music, solo works and chamber music for the theatre. His music has been performed by ensembles such as Klangforum Wien, Ensemble intercontemporain and Ensemble Recherche, and at the Darmstadt Summer Courses and the Ensems Festival (Valencia), as well as in the Pierre Boulez Saal (Berlin), the Auditorio Nacional de Música (Madrid), and the Mozart Hall at the Zaragoza Auditorium and at the KKL Luzern.
