The presentation of these pieces by the cellist Angel García Jermann is impeccable… García Jermann is in equal parts brilliant and expressive, subtle in nuance and precise in phrasing.”

— Natalia Berganza, Doce Notas

Of Spanish-German origin, Angel García Jermann is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding cellists of his generation in Spain. He has been Professor of Cello at the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid since 2002 and served as Principal Cello of the RTVE Symphony Orchestra for eleven years. He has also taught at the conservatories of the

Balearic Islands and Aragón.

As a soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician, he has performed extensively throughout Europe and Latin America, collaborating with many of the most distinguished Spanish musicians of his generation. He regularly appears as guest principal cello with leading ensembles, including the Orquesta de Cadaqués, the Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid, and the Andrés Segovia Chamber Orchestra. He has given masterclasses in Spain, Germany, Poland, and Switzerland.

García Jermann has premiered in Spain works such as Solo for cello by Cristóbal Halffter and Concerto Grosso No. 2 by Alfred Schnittke. He has also premiered chamber works by José Torres, Antón García Abril Guijarro, Agustín González Acilu, Jaime del Val, and Ramón Paus. He served as Director of the Forum de Violoncello de España until 2016 and as Vice President and Artistic Director of the CelloLEON Foundation until 2022. In 2023, he joined the faculty of the Borromeo Festival in Switzerland and, in 2024, performed in Seoul and Tokyo as part of the János Starker Centennial Festival.

Deeply committed to expanding the cello repertoire, García Jermann has devoted special attention to lesser-known Spanish works. This interest led to a series of recordings for the Sociedad Española de Musicología featuring 19th- and 20th-century music for cello and piano. His album Melodías, Romanzas y Nocturnos received critical acclaim, as did his recordings of sonatas by Antonio Torrandell and Manuel Bonín.

His third album, dedicated to works for cello and piano by Joaquín Cassadó, father of the renowned cellist-composer Gaspar Cassadó, was released in mid-2023.

Upcoming concert engagements with his piano duo partner Oleksandra Totkalova and with the Hamburger Elbphilharmonisches Streichsextett are scheduled for the 2026/27 season.

He performs on an exceptional cello built in 1762 in Madrid by José Contreras, known as “The Spanish Stradivari.”

“The performance showed a perfect rapport in which phrasing and dynamics merged with

precision, without fuss, filling the hall with music.”
