Quella Vita Quintet is composed of five musicians from diverse backgrounds and career paths, united by a shared passion for chamber music and wind ensemble performances. Their repertoire spans a wide range of musical styles, from Baroque to contemporary works, with a commitment to exploring and preserving musical heritage. In addition to their artistic engagement, they are dedicated to continuous education and training, which led to an opportunity to perform at the 32nd Young Virtuosi organised by the Ljubljana Festival. They have also participated in the V. Chamber Music Competition of Castellón, where they reached the finals. The quintet consists of Natalia Martínez Pulido (flute), Pau Molla Herráez (oboe), Raquel Cámara Perelló (clarinet), Marcos Serrano Smolka (horn), and Jordi López Prades (bassoon). Alongside competitions and masterclasses, they collaborate with various cultural institutions and festivals, always working to broaden their artistic expression.
