The book “Aproximació a la vida i obra de José Antonio Valls Subirats (1958-1983)” will be presented on Tuesday 31 January at 6:30 p.m. The event will take place in the Main Hall of the Velluters Educational Complex Building of the Professional Conservatory of Music of València. The speaker will be Professor Dr. Vicent Ros, full university professor emeritus of Organ and Harpsichord at the Higher Conservatory of Music of València. Lastly, there will be a concert by the pianist Hèctor Tarín Nieto.

The creative work of José Antonio Valls Subirats (1958-1983), a musician from Alcanar who died prematurely before he could develop his promising career as a composer, conductor, performer and professor, has so far not been studied in the depth it deserves. As a tribute, this book analyses his figure from a biographical point of view, but also as an academic and professional, studying his production to determine the characteristics that define him as a composer, his creative resources and his links with foreign music such as, for example, jazz.
