Usually praised for his poetical, intense and original performances, Víctor Braojos obtained his BMus (Hons) at Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (Barcelona), working with Jordi Masó and Pierre Reach and supported by a scholarship by the Anna Riera Foundation. He later moved to London, where he pursued his Master in Piano Performance and Artist Diploma (Distinction and Concert Recital Diploma) at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, working with Martin Roscoe and thanks to an Excellence Scholarship Award given by this institution.
Over these years, he has completed his musical formation working regularly with world-acclaimed performers such as Dame Imogen Cooper, Sir Stephen Hough, Paul Lewis CBE, Robert Levin or Stephen Kovacevich, being chosen at the same time to join the roster of artists supported by renowned institutions, such as the Imogen Cooper Music Trust, Talent Unlimited and the Keyboard Charitable Trust.
He has won several prizes and awards in national and international piano competitions, among which we could highlight, the Best Spanish Pianist Award at the 68th Maria Canals International Piano Competition (2023), the 2nd Prize at the prestigious “El Primer Palau” International Music Competition (2019) and the 1st Prize in the Catalunya Piano Competition (2017), of which he is to date the youngest winner ever in the 50 years of history of this competition.
His commitment to combine classical repertoire with contemporary music has led him to world-premiere works by some of the most renowned Spanish composers such as Benet Casablancas (Aforisme nº4, 2018), Joan Magrané (Fantasiestuck nº2, 2019), Marc Migó (Epitafi, 2017 & Three Preludes, 2024) or Josep Maria Guix (Bagatelle nº1, 2020) and, concurrently to his soloist activity, he usually collaborates with several chamber music ensembles and orchestras, among which we could highlight his multiple collaborations with the Barcelona Medical College Orchestra, conducted by Alfons Reverté.
Along his career he has performed in several venues across Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Poland, Russia or the UK, among which we could remark concerts at emblematic venues such as the Palau de la Música Catalana, the National Auditorium of Barcelona, London Steinway Hall, Instituto Cervantes de Palermo or the Frédéric Chopin Museum in Warsaw. His most recent and future engagements include internationally acclaimed concert halls and festivals, such as the Münchener Künstlerhaus (Germany), the London National Liberal Club, the “International Masters Concert Series” at the Auditorio Ciudad de León (Spain), the Imperial College (London) and the Melodomia Music Society (France).
In September 2022, Víctor was appointed Junior Fellow at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
