Carlos Roqué Alsina

In Argentina, he actively participated as a pianist and composer in artistic programs of various musical institutions (including "Nueva Musica" in Buenos Aires from 1959 to 1964).

In 1964, he was invited to Germany as part of the "Artists-in-Residence" program, which gave him the opportunity to meet Iannis Xenakis, Elliott Carter and Luciano Berio.

In April 1969, with Jean-Pierre Drouet, Michel Portal, and Vinko Globokar, he founded the improvisation group "New Phonic Art",[4] which led him to give numerous concerts and to make multiple international tours.

To honour his 60th birthday (2001) and his contribution to French musical life, he received a special commission from the Ministère de la Culture: Phares et Rayonnements.

Alsina continued to exercise his activities as a pianist, teacher and composer: recitals, master classes and productions of his works punctuate his last years and led him to many trips in Europe, North America but also in China, Argentina etc.
