Joan Trav\u00e9 is a pianist, fortepianist and lecturer. A versatile musician, he moves effortlessly between historical keyboard instruments and the modern piano. His repertoire spans from the English Renaissance to contemporary music, with a particular focus on historical performance practice.<\/span><\/p>\n Born in 1991 in Palma de Mallorca, Joan Trav\u00e9 made his debut as a soloist at the age of 16, performing Beethoven\u2019s First Piano Concerto. Since then, he has given concerts in many European countries, including appearances at the Frankfurt Opera, the Chopin Festival in Valldemossa, the Wiesbaden State Theatre, the FEL!X urban Festival in Cologne, and Frankfurt\u2019s Holzhausenschl\u00f6sschen. He performs regularly both as a soloist and as a chamber musician.<\/span><\/p>\n His encounters with musicians such as Lorenzo Coppola, Eva Maria Pollerus, and Carmen Leoni sparked his passion for historical performance and period instruments. He was particularly influenced by his studies with Jesper Christensen in fortepiano and historical Romantic keyboard instruments.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/joantrave.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Joan-Trave-pianist-and-fortepianist.-Photo-by-Yat-Ho-Tsang-9-1.jpeg” title_text=”Joan Trav\u00e9, pianist and fortepianist.
