Programme

Troppos plays music that wants to be danced to, presenting audiences with passion packed programmes featuring the sounds of Spain and Latin America.

Their members are clarinettist Pawel Jaworski, violinist Eddy Betancourt, oboist Sergio Vega Domínguez and tuba player Francisco (Paco) Martínez Merino.  They are often also joined by percussionists Anders Rigg or Eric Alfonso.

When Sergio was studying at the RCS he reached out to some fellow students to see if anyone wanted to form a chamber music ensemble that he could then write for.  However it wasn’t until during the pandemic that he teamed up with his friend Paco and he began writing for oboe, flute and tuba.  The group took off and began performing original compositions and arrangements around the country, joined by violinist Eddy Betancourt and clarinettist Pawel Jaworski.

Troppos is a synthesis of the traditional orchestral formation, attempting to break the often rigid classical rules, in search of a new, innovative sound. With this programme they create a musical journey through the fascinating cultural melting pot that is Spanish and Latin American music – bringing to their audiences the pure beauty and light of this exchange. Troppos want to reconnect the art of their music with the sensuality of dance.
