Biography

Dr Roberto Alonso Trillo was born in Vigo (Spain) in 1983. His professional career ranges over three interrelated areas: performance, pedagogy, and research. As a violin player, he has developed an active international performing career, accentuating his performance with academic investigations of authorship, audience, and creativity. At present, Dr Trillo works as a visiting lecturer at different international institutions in Europe and America. Examples of recent research have been published by the Perspectives of New Music magazine, Hispanic Research Journal, and the IRASM magazine. His areas of specialization include twentieth-century music and contemporary Spanish music, a wide interest in Theodor W. Adorno’s sociology and philosophy of music, the history of violin teaching and performance, performance analysis with digital tools, and a general music-based interest in the work and ideas of French post-structuralist thinkers.
