Adrián Moscardó is a Valencian trumpet player and conductor whose professional career began in 2009, when, at just 20 years old and still pursuing his advanced studies, he won a position by competitive audition with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra and National Orchestra of Catalonia (OBC). This early achievement marked a significant milestone in his career, establishing his entry into the professional symphonic scene. He has also been a member of the Spanish National Youth Orchestra (JONDE) and the Catalan National Youth Orchestra (JONC), experiences that further enriched his perspective on orchestral performance.
Throughout his career, he has collaborated with renowned conductors such as Cristian Măcelaru, Juanjo Mena, Dima Slobodeniouk, Ludovic Morlot, Kent Nagano, Vasily Petrenko, Jordi Savall, and Jakub Hrůša, among others. These collaborations have allowed him to perform an extensive repertoire ranging from Baroque music to contemporary creations and to take part in numerous chamber music festivals across Spain.
As a conductor, Adrián Moscardó builds his approach on a solid background as an orchestral musician—a perspective he considers essential for understanding and addressing the needs of performers. His orchestral experience has equipped him with key tools he now applies to conducting: active listening, teamwork, and collaborative leadership. His primary goal is to foster an environment of respect and trust, where each musician can reach their fullest artistic potential.
In 2023, he was selected as one of the conductors to participate in the inaugural edition of the NEXT GEN International Masterclass, organized by the Asturias Symphony Orchestra (OSPA) and led by Professor Johannes Schlaefli.
