Artistic direction
Alejandra Urrutia
Artistic and Musical Director
In Portillo, music breathes differently. Surrounded by mountains, with silence and beauty on every side, something profound takes place. The teaching is exceptional: our faculty does not only instruct, it inspires. And the students arrive with a genuine willingness to grow. In this atmosphere, chamber music flourishes, the orchestra becomes a living organism, and musicians discover new dimensions of themselves. It is a space where careers are forged and lives are transformed through the power of music.

It is a unique experience. Being in such a beautiful place with my colleagues, dedicating ourselves only to music and learning from teachers such as the American String Quartet and Alejandra Urrutia was wonderful. I am deeply grateful for the warmth with which we were treated at the hotel. I would definitely do it again.

From our first year at the Portillo Academy and Festival, we knew we were going to a musically challenging festival to train as instrumentalists, but we did not know it would become much more: a place where we grew as people, as a group and as musicians. Portillo marked our history. And it will continue to do so, because it left in us a way of making music and living it in community that we carry wherever we go.
