Marta Cascales Alimbau, Barcelona-born and New York-based, is a pianist and composer known for her delicate blend of contemporary minimalism and poetic expression.
The piano became her language early on—a space where emotions could take shape without words. Over time, interpretation turned into composition, and she began creating her own pieces. She studied Piano and Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp and Taller de Músics ESEM in Barcelona, supported by scholarships from the SGAE Foundation, the European Commission, and Creative Europe.
Her debut EP Light-House (2018) marked the beginning of her recording career, followed by releases with the New York label Sonder House and her album Anoche (2020). Her work has also been featured on the Official Piano Day Album (2023), alongside artists such as Yann Tiersen and Liam Mour, under Nils Frahm’s label LEITER. In 2024, she made her debut with the iconic Deutsche Grammophon, opening a new chapter in her artistic path. With over 8 million streams worldwide, her music continues to resonate deeply with listeners worldwide.
Marta has performed at festivals and venues such as SXSW, the Perelman Performing Arts Center NYC, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum NYC. Her live performances are often described as deeply immersive—moments where the outside world fades and something more essential comes into focus.
Alongside her solo work, she explores interdisciplinary and collaborative projects, including the Listening Room for Artsy, the Music & Art exhibition at ABA ART, and original music for renewed choreographers. She is also part of an ongoing collaboration with singer-songwriter Grauwi, with their second album on the horizon.
Marta is a Voting Member of the Recording Academy, the organization behind the GRAMMY Awards.
