The composer Oscar Navarro was born in the village of Novelda (Alicante), where he began studying the clarinet at an early age. He received the "Outstanding Award" after completing his preliminary music studies, and was awarded both an honorary mention and a distinction at the end of his bachelor degree in the "Conservatorio Superior Oscar Espla" in Alicante (Spain).
Oscar Navarro continued his studies of composition and conducting at the "Allegro International Music Academy" of Valencia, with his mentor and friend FerrerFerrán. Shortly after he was selected by the prestigious University of Southern California Thornton School of Music (Los Angeles, USA) to study Scoring for Motion Picture and TV. In Los Angeles he studied under the tutelage of renown composers such as Joel McNeely, Pete Anthony, Michael Giacchino and Christopher Young. Navarro had the pleasure of collaborating with Christopher Young through working as an orchestrator, creating suites to his film music.
Oscar Navarro has recorded in some of the most notable studios of Los Angeles, including Capitol Records, Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. After finishing his studies, he was awarded with the "Harry Warren Endowed Scholarship for Scoring for Motion Pictures and TV" prize, as the most advanced graduating student on his course.
Today Oscar Navarro holds many national and international composition awards and his music is performed in major performance venues across the world by some of the leading orchestral and wind ensembles. Some of Navarro's most professional highlights include participating as music director in a benefit concert organised by the former Consul of Spain in Los Angeles, Mr. Inocencio Arias, in the prestigious Bovard Auditorium of Los Angeles in 2009, the tour of his « Concerto for clarinet and orchestra » performed by the Spanish Youth Symphony of Spain and the world premiere of his quartet "creation" in the Lincoln Center of New York by international clarinet soloist José-FranchBallester.
During his profesional career Oscar Navarro has been commissioned by the Army and Navy Orchestra of Winds of Brussels, Network of schools of Medellin (Colombia), International Music Competition of Altea (Alicante), Valencian Institute of Music (Spain), Youth Orchestra of GeneralitatValenciana (Spain), The City of Downey (California, USA), University of Southern California "Trojan Marching Band", and "José-FranchBallester& Friends" (New York, USA) among others. As a rising conductor, Navarro has led many ensembles including the Symphonic Wind Ensemble of Alicante, Wind Ensemble and Choir of the "Network of schools of Medellin", Requena Philharmonic (Valencia, Spain), Radio Orchestra of Kiev, Symphonic Orchestra of Macedonia and next year the Santa Cecilia Symphony Orchestra (Excelentia Fundation).
Within his busy schedule, Oscar Navarro is often asked to give master classes for both film and classical music.
Future engagements for the 2013-2014 season will include taking part in the Tanglewood Music Festival as guest composer (his « Downey Overture » will be performed), and The Cleveland Orchestra will perform his « Concerto for clarinet No. 2 », with Franklin Cohen as soloist under the baton of Robert Proco. Next year Oscar has been nominated for the "Hollywood Music In Media Awards", in the film music section, having already been awarded distinction within the classical music category in 2012.

Recording quality was not very good, it's a bit difficult to listen to the Clarinet at some places... Aside from that, great performance! Bravo.
