The composer and violinist Jordi Cervelló has died this Friday morning at the age of 86, as confirmed by the Figueres Hospital (Girona) and the Boileau Music Publishing House to Europa Press.
Hospital sources have explained that the death was caused by a complication of pneumonia, for which Cervelló had been hospitalized for a week.
Cervelló had received the Creu de Sant Jordi, awarded by the Generalitat, in 2006.
In 2010 he also received the National Music Award for his compositions, “of great depth and inspiration, in which his exceptional mastery of the strings shines”.
Among his works stand out ‘Fantasia Concertante’, ‘Formes per an exposicion’ and the ‘Concert per a violí i orquestra’, premiered last year at L’Auditori de Barcelona by the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya (OBC) .
