COMPOSER
Olivia Pérez-Collellmir
Olivia Pérez-Collellmir is a Barcelona-born pianist, composer, and bandleader whose music fuses classical virtuosity with influences from flamenco and jazz. Described by The Arts Fuse as a “Spanish virtuoso” who adds “a flamenco touch to her chamber jazz,” she has performed internationally at venues including the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, El Gran Teatre del Liceu, and SOB’s in New York, and has appeared with artists such as Rosana Arbelo, Sonia Olla, and Ismael Fernández. A Berklee College of Music alumna and current faculty member, Pérez-Collellmir is the recipient of Berklee’s Piano Chair and Piano Achievement Awards and founded the school’s first Contemporary Spanish Music and Flamenco Jazz Ensemble. Her debut album, Olivia (Adhyâropa Records, 2023), features her original compositions and collaborations with Judit Neddermann, John Lockwood, and others, supported by a Berklee Faculty Fellowship Grant.
