About the artist

Spanish cellist Onomeya (Alfredo Ferre) has performed in many of the world's most important concert halls, including the National Music Auditorium in Madrid, the Shostakovich Hall in Saint Petersburg and the KKL Luzern, and has collaborated with artists such as Mischa Maisky, Claudio Martínez-Mehner, Sol Gabetta, Lily Francis and Ettore Causa. After initial studies with Francisco Pastor, Alfredo Ferre joined the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofia in Madrid to work with Natalia Shakhovskaya and Michal Dmochovsky. He continued his training with Ivan Monighetti and Claudio Martinez Mehner at the Musik Akademie in Basel. In addition to his career as a concert cellist, Mr. Ferre explores his creativity in other musical fields, including composition, electronic music production and sound therapy, all under the stage name Onomeya. He plays a cello on loan from an anonymous patron, believed to have been built by Francesco Gofriller around 1740. Alfredo Ferre attended the Verbier Festival Academy in 2017, where he received the Jean-Nicolas Firmenich Prize, which is awarded annually to an outstanding cellist.
