Awarded at the Padova International Competition, Cidade d’Alcobaça (Portugal), and a finalist at the Gaetano Zinnetti competition in Verona, Mario Pérez is a violinist whose career rests on three fundamental pillars: excellence in performance, a passion for chamber music, and a deep calling for teaching and research.

His violin voice has resonated across a musical geography as extensive as it is diverse. He has given concerts and recitals that have taken him from Spain’s great auditoriums to international stages in Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and England, as well as to Colombia, Oman, Algeria, Japan, and Mexico, enriching a career marked by cultural encounters and artistic dialogue through the universal language of music.

He has performed alongside soloists such as Franz Peter Zimmermann, Isabelle Faust, Nikolaj Szeps-Znaider, Augustin Hadelich, Janine Jansen, Leonidas Kavakos, Gidon Kremer, and Pinchas Zukerman, and with conductors of the stature of Semyon Bychkov, Gustavo Dudamel, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Sir Mark Elder, and Kent Nagano.

As a soloist, he has distinguished himself with works such as Schnittke’s Concerto Grosso No. 1 at the Auditorio Nacional alongside Gordan Nikolic (2014), Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons with the Infinitum Orchestra, the Brandenburg Concertos with the RCSMM baroque orchestra, and premieres by composers such as Sánchez Verdú and Mauricio Sotelo. His work as concertmaster has led him to collaborate with the Verum Symphony Orchestra, Mille e tre, Madrid Classic Ensemble, and Mixtour.

As a researcher, his work focuses on the recovery of Spanish musical heritage. His most recent project — awarded the Melómano de Oro — is the complete recording of Felipe Libón’s 30 Caprices for solo violin, released on the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth and accompanied by a critical edition currently in progress that seeks to establish the definitive text and place his figure within the history of the European violin school.
