José Melchor Baltasar Gaspar Nebra Blasco (January 6, 1702 – July 11, 1768) was a Spanish composer.
His work combines Spanish traditions with the Italian style of his day.
Two brothers were also musicians: Francisco Javier Nebra Blasco (1705–1741), organist of La Seo in Zaragoza until he moved to Cuenca in 1729, then succeeded by his brother Joaquín Ignacio Nebra Blasco (1709–1782) till his death.
[2] José was locked up for many years in house arrest because he appeared in the letters seized from the Marquis Jaime José Ignacio Velaz de Medrano y Barros who conspired to place Ferdinand VI on the throne instead of his father Philip V. He died in Madrid.
A performance of the opera Venus y Adonis has been scheduled for 2019 by the Centro Nacional de Difusión Musical.
