Joan Valent (Algaida, 1964) is a composer and conductor
with solid foundations. He studied cello, piano, musical analysis,
composition and conducting in Palma and Barcelona.
Later, he moved to Los Angeles, where he studied classical composition,
film scoring and orchestral conducting at UCLA.
He was nominated in 2014 for a Goya for the soundtrack of Las Brujas de
Zugarramurdi (titled Witching & Bitching in English), for which he
ended up winning a Fénix award. 2015 saw him attending the Golden Globes for his compositions for the film Birdman (Alejandro González Iñárritu) and in 2016 he won the Gaudí prize for his work in El Rey de la Habana
(Agustí Villaronga). On his return to Mallorca the ‘Círculo de Economía’ organisation honoured his outstanding career by arranging a
private event in which Joan presents discussions on and performances of
four unpublished pieces of his next work. The event is also in support
of the Natzaret Foundation, which helps vulnerable children.
