Almudena was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1997. She started playing violin at an early age, which remained her main instrument until she graduated in 2019 of her BMus under the tutelage of Marc Oliu in the Conservatorio Superior de Castilla y León(Salamanca, Spain).
In her aim to take part in more chamber music ensembles within the musical institutions she was studying, at the age of sixteen she starts playing the viola. Impressed by the charming sound and the warm tone of this instrument, she decides to deepen more on the viola. So, in September 2019 she moves to The Netherlands to study her viola BMus with Mikhail Zemtsov in the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag, which has concluded in June 2023.
Her interest in ensemble playing led her to currently be part of Libero Strijkorkest (NL), Agathe Ensemble (NL), JONDE (Spanish Youth Orchestra), Orquesta del Liceo de Salamanca (SP). And also, to collaborate with other ensembles like Ciconia Consort (The Hague).
From September 2023, she will be the viola academist of the Rotterdam
Philharmonisch Orkest.
