Hailed by Le Soir as “a wonderful musician who deliberately avoids ostentation,” Nicolás Margarit has quickly established himself as an extraordinarily versatile musician whose wide-ranging repertoire encompasses performances on both modern and historical keyboards. He performs in venues and concert series throughout Europe, mainly in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom. Born in Brisbane, Australia, Nicolas began his musical studies at the age of three. He moved to Spain in 2017 to study with Dmitri Bashkirov at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía in Madrid. Since then he has continued his studies with Milana Chernyavska and Claudio-Martinez Mehner, receiving additional lessons from such musicians as as András Schiff, Andreas Staier and Pierre-Laurent Aimard.
