Music
In recent years, I have worked on various musical projects that now form the core of my musical activities. Together with other musicians, we strive to present music proposals that are outstanding both in content and performance.

Agathe Ensemble
Agathe Ensemble is an international collective of talented young string players, founded in 2016 by cellist Iván Nogueira and violinists Aleksandra Kwiatkowska and Ella van der Mespel. The ensemble shares its passion for chamber music in a variety of formations, including string quartet and violin-cello duo.
In 2023, Agathe Ensemble released its debut album, Intimate Sketches. In 2026, the ensemble will release its second album, Scenes of a Folk Life. With this album, the ensemble confirms the artistic direction that has developed naturally over the years: bringing together folk and classical music traditions through original arrangements and energetic performances.

On.Cello
On.Cello is a solo project where I explore expanding the possibilities of my instrument across various folk music styles. My Galician roots are well represented, along with my love for Celtic folk music from Ireland and Scotland. In 2021, I released my first solo album: *On.Cello - tones&tunes*. In 2022, Grupo Beroly published the sheet music, featuring all 10 compositions and arrangements for solo cello.
