Pablo
Tejedor-Gutiérrez

«A very virtuoso solo cello» (Baroquiades, 2021)

«It was heartening to hear how music, drama and text came together, particularly in the recitatives» (Planet Hugill on CHOC Tamerlano, 2022)

«Pablo Tejedor-Gutiérrez, cello, deserve a mention for some very rapid playing» (Andrew Benson-Wilson, 2024)

Pablo Tejedor-Gutiérrez is a cello and gamba player specialising in Historical Performance. As a solo instrumentalist, he won third place at the 2023 Spanish National Early Music Competition (Jeunesses Musicales) and received the 2022 BritishSpanish Society Arts Award.

Pablo currently enjoys a busy career touring internationally, from Bolivia to Italy and from Portugal to Belgium, performing in mythical venues such as the Victoria Hall in Geneva, the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam, and the Teatro Real or the Auditorio Nacional in Madrid as well as in prestigious festivals such as Namur, Chiquitos, Ambronay, Utrecht or Saintes. His performances have been broadcast by BBC3, Radio Télévision Suisse Radio Catalunya, and even TV shows starring Julianne Moore.

In an incessant pursuit of inspiration, Pablo has been lucky enough to share the stage in projects with well-known artists such as William Christie, Philippe Herreweghe, Enrico Onofri, Ophélie Gaillard, Rachel Podger, Geoffroy Jourdain, Martin Gester, Claudio Astronio, Leonardo García Alarcón, Marco Ceccato, Roberta Invernizzi, Ashley Solomon, Fabio Bonizzoni, Bojan Cicic or Laurence Cummings.

As a soloist, Pablo maintains a constant annual activity, ranging from orchestra concertos to recitals with accompaniment or solo cello concerts. Some of these performances are with his own ensemble, La Tirana. In his solo performances, Pablo has played at prestigious festivals such as the Arundel Festival (Hanover Band, UK), the Musique au Paradis Festival (France), the Festival dei Saraceni (Italy), as well as at concert halls including St. James Piccadilly, The Holywell Music Room, St. John Smith Square, and the Horniman Museum, among others.

In the role of principal cello, Pablo can be found playing historically-informed creative bass lines (and some soloist ones, too) in many different ensembles specialised in repertoire ranging from Baroque to Romantic times, including prominent bands like Academia Montis Regalis, Le Parlement de Musique, Holland Baroque, Instruments of Time and Truth, but also emerging groups such as Charivari Agréable, Ensemble OrQuesta, Istante Collective, Nocturnalia, Bellot Ensemble… In addition, he has also been selected to be part of prominent youth period orchestras, including Eeemerging+/Ambronay Academy (2021 and 2022), the Jeune Orchestre de l’Abbaye, Frau Musika and the Jeune Orchestre Rameau.

When he is not performing, Pablo researches cultural history topics, having given and published different articles and papers on the Enlightenment, and teaches for different music institutions, notably giving masterclasses at Oxford University (Faculty of Music) or Otley Baroque, lecturing on Early Music Treatises and Sources at the Royal College of Music or coaching the EGO Youth Basque Orchestra in Musikene Conservatoire invited by director Lina Tur Bonet.

Numerous institutions have supported Pablo, from the Excellence Scholarship of the Wilsdorf Foundation to the Société des Amis du Conservatoire de Genève or the RCM, The Henry Wood, The Macfarlane Walker and The Helen Rachel Mackaness Trusts. Having studied in Spain (Aldo Mata), Switzerland (Bruno Cocset, Guido Balestracci and David Pia) and the UK (Royal College of Music), he has also attended masterclasses with Christophe Coin, Jaap Ter Linden, Sara Mingardo, Antonio Florio, Lucia Swarts, David Watkin, Michael Chance, Jonathan Manson or Kristin von der Goltz.

Future and recent 2025-6 projects include concerto appearances at the Otley Baroque Festival with La Tirana, as well as teaching masterclasses on Classical-Romantic cello and chamber music in Historical Performance. He is also performing various recitals at the Handel House and touring across Early Music Festivals in Utrecht and the Early Music Week in Estella. With his co-founded ensemble, Nocturnalia, Pablo has become part of the S-EEEmerging network, developing residencies in Helsinki, Torroella, and France, as well as regular performances in the UK, including on the BBC. He continues to foster collaborations with ensembles such as Ensemble Mare Nostrum, Academia Montis Regalis, Charivari Agreable, Les Ombres, and Ensemble OrQuesta, with whom he has recorded Cephale et Procris by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre.
