Flute Course & Retreat with Júlia Gállego

Júlia Gállego is one of Spain’s leading flautists with an outstanding international career. She studied in Alicante and at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (CNSM), and has established herself as a distinguished soloist, chamber musician, and principal flute with some of Europe’s most renowned orchestras. She has served as Principal Flute of the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra and the Galicia Symphony Orchestra, and is currently a member of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, as well as co-founder and principal flute of bandArt.

Throughout her career, she has collaborated with internationally acclaimed orchestras and conductors while combining an active performing schedule with teaching. Since 2006, she has been Professor of Flute at both the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (ESMUC) and the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu in Barcelona.

Alongside her artistic and educational work, Júlia is also trained in Kundalini Yoga and Sacred Aromatherapy. She is the creator of SomaKardioEnergeia in Harmonia, a holistic programme for musicians that integrates physical, mental, and artistic well-being, helping performers achieve greater balance and fulfilment in their musical lives.
