BIO Magí Garcías is an eclectic pianist from Palma whose artistic profile moves fluidly between chamber music, contemporary repertoire, improvisation, and composition.

In 2017, he founded the Sosnowska–Garcías Duo (cello and piano) with cellist Zuzanna Sosnowska. The ensemble has an active international career and has received several awards, including the 1st Prize ex aequo at the International Salieri–Zinetti Chamber Music Competition (Verona, 2019) and the 2nd Prize at the International Swedish Duo Competition in Katrineholm (2022, WFIMC member).

He later completed his Master’s degree at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt Weimar with Prof. Gerlinde Otto, and obtained his Meisterklasse degree with distinction at the Hochschule für Musik Nürnberg under Prof. Dr. Aurelia Visovan.
