His repertoire ranges from early music performed on the harpsichord and clavichord to the great piano works of Schumann, Beethoven, Brahms, Liszt, Skrjabin, and Rachmaninov, among others.

In the first part of the concert ‘Campanas por la paz’ he will perform Mussorgsky’s composition ‘Cuadros de una feria’. The second part will include a repertoire with the themes ‘In Memoriam Vicente Monerris’, by Pedro Salinas; ‘Casi dos mil niños’ by Lusa Monllor; ‘Pieza para piano’ by Pedro Salinas; and, finally, ‘Sacrificio de Invierno’ and ‘Scherzo’, both by Krassimir Taskov.
