Spanish cellist Alejandro Gómez Pareja started playing the cello at the age of four. First Prize winner at the international Joël Klepal competition and the Shkolnikova Academy Concerto Competition, and Second Prize winner at the Pau Casals International Cello Award and the Elizabeth Loker International Concerto Competition (Maryland, USA), his recent performances include his debut with the Royal Seville Symphony Orchestra, the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra of Catalonia, the Orchestre de Caen, the Mid-Atlantic Symphony Orchestra and the Südwestdeutsches Kammerorchester Pforzheim, with conductors such as Alondra de la Parra, David Afkham, Nicolas Simon, Michael Repper and David Fernández Caravaca. 

Alejandro is a passionate and devoted chamber musician, having collaborated with musicians such as Midori Goto, Vivian Weilerstein, Nicholas Mann, Anthony Marwood, Natasha Brofsky, Marta Gulyás, Alena Baeva, Marc Coppey, John Myerscough (Doric Quartet), Krzysztof Chorzelski (Belcea Quartet) or Jonathan Brown (Casals Quartet). He has also been invited to international festivals like Yellow Barn, the Mozarteum International Sommerakademie in Salzburg, the Brunswick Festival in Maine, the Pau Casals Festival in El Vendrell, the Moritzburg Festival or the Rutesheim Cello Festival, having the opportunity to work with teachers such as Maria Kliegel, Orfeo Mandozzi, Torleif Thedeen, Danjulo Ishizaka, Frans Helmerson, Laurence Lesser, Natalia Shajovskaya, Astrid Schween, James Ehnes, Jörg Widmann, Steve Doane or Wolfgang Schmidt.

Beyond the concert stage, Alejandro is deeply engaged with the social dimension of music and with the creative renewal offered by contemporary repertoire. A highlight of the 2023–2024 season was his participation in the ICEP project in Laos and Japan with Midori Goto. He has also been invited on several occasions to the Musethica festival, bringing live music to communities at risk of social exclusion. In May 2025, he took part in Classical Link at the Bergen Festival alongside Amalie Stalheim, Alexandra Peral, and Andreas Grimstad, premiering new works by young composers.

In June 2024 he finished his Bachelor degree at the Reina Sofía School of Music with Jens Peter Maintz, having received the award for the most outstanding student the previous year. He is currently studying a master’s degree at the Royal Academy of Music with John Myerscough, thanks to the Caixa Postgraduate Fellowships Abroad 2025 and the scholarship of the musical institution.
