Meet Francesco y Juanjo

Updated: Jul 24, 2019

I can not say enought about Francesco and Juanjo from the GEMS faculty.

Two musicians who have accompanied us and helped us with everything! They have always been super attentive to us.

I remember the last couple days where I was a little nervous about orchestrating, and that everything needed to fall into place on the day of the recording. However, Francesco Menini was always there to support and help me get all of my work to 100%, clearly everything has come out at a very high level, too. Thanks to Juanjo who has conducted my composition with great professionalism.

Also, I want to thank Gems and the founder Nigel Ashley Lees for believing in me and giving me a scholarship so I could have this professional opportunity.

Grateful to have such an amazing and talented team of students who I now call friends!

At first I thought it would be diffcult, given that my English was not at a very high level – hindering the social aspect - but I was wrong.

Language is not a barrier and although Gems is over, we are going to maintain our friendship.
