ALFONSINA TORREALBA

CONDUCTOR - PERFORMER - EDUCATOR

Performer

At 15 years old, Alfonsina started to play the flute, with an education that combined classic technique and jazz fusion thanks to her mentor Jaime "Chino" Vásquez, a renowned flute and saxophone player. Three years later, she enrolled in the Conservatory of Music at the University of Chile, where she deepened her voice and singing development alongside music theory and analysis. Mixing her natural curiosity and musical versatility, Alfonsina has achieved an uninterrupted career as a performer.

Later, Alfonsina co-founded TorreMar Music Studio, a familiar studio that has been offering professional music services since 2021 with the mixing engineer Jesus Martinez. This studio has given Alfonsina a unique experience as a studio musician and audio post-production, especially in classical music.
