Over the years he has worked with the greatest conductors such as Abbado, Gergiev, Ozawa, Pappano and Koopman, combining his appearances as a soloist with intense activity as a chamber musician.

Eclectic and innovative, in recent years he has promoted the rediscovery of the violoncello piccolo – an instrument no longer in current use, but popular among composers of the 17th and 18th centuries – which bore fruit in the “Brunello Bach Series”, a project consisting 41 of three recordings in which important masterworks for violin acquired a new dimension on the violoncello piccolo with four strings.

After the release of the Sonatas and Partitas (2019) and the Sei Suonate à cembalo certato è violoncello piccolo solo (2021), the trilogy will conclude in 2022 with “Bach Transcriptions”, an ingenious programme of concertos recorded with the Accademia dell’Annunciata.

In the meantime, the collaboration between Brunello and Arcana gave birth to two remarkable albums with the same instrument: a CD dedicated to Tartini (Diapason d’Or) and “Sonar in Ottava” in collaboration with Giuliano Carmignola (which BBC Music Magazine rated as among the “Best Concerto Recordings” of 2020).

Voted the fifth best choir in the world in Gramophone magazine’s ‘20 Greatest Choirs’, The Choir of Trinity College Cambridge comprises around thirty Choral Scholars and two Organ Scholars, all of whom are students at the University.

The College’s choral tradition dates back to the all-male choir of the fourteenth century, when former Chapel Royal choristers studied in King’s Hall which later became part of Trinity College. Female voices were introduced by Richard Marlow in the 1980s. In a further new departure for Cambridge, under Stephen Layton (Director of Music from 2006-23) the Choir instituted a pioneering livestreaming programme of its Chapel services. Steven Grahl has been appointed Director of Music from January 2024, following in a distinguished line of musicians that includes Charles Villiers Stanford, Alan Gray, Raymond Leppard, Richard Marlow and Stephen Layton.

During term, the Choir’s main focus is the singing of the liturgy in the College Chapel, exploring a wide-ranging repertoire drawn from both Catholic and Protestant traditions. Outside term, the Choir’s programme of performances and recordings has included BBC broadcasts of Bach’s Mass in B minor and Christmas Oratorio with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in London, Haydn’s Nelson Mass with the City of London Sinfonia in Aldeburgh and Cambridge, Poulenc’s Gloria with Britten Sinfonia in Norwich Cathedral, and Handel’s Dettingen Te Deum with the Academy of Ancient Music in London and Cambridge.

“Sitting front and center at a recent Trinity Choir of Cambridge concert…was, sonically speaking, a heavenly experience.”

The New York Times

Highlights of the Choir’s extensive discography include Howells’s Collegium Regale, which won Australia’s Limelight Recording of the Year in 2016; Howells’s Requiem and other works, which won a Gramophone Award in 2012; and Beyond all mortal dreams, settings of contemporary American a cappella music, nominated for a US Grammy Award in the same year. Five of the Choir’s recordings have been nominated for Gramophone Awards, including Northern Lights, a recording of choral music by the Latvian composer Eriks Ešenvalds; and Kenneth Leighton’s Crucifixus and other works.

An ambitious programme of tours has taken the Choir to destinations in Europe, the USA, Canada, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Peru, and on two month-long nationwide tours of Australia as part of the Musica Viva International Concert Season.

In 2012, the Choir started audio livestreams of all services sung in Chapel. Video livestreaming commenced in 2019; since October 2022, all services are livestreamed in video. Every audio and video livestream since 2012 is available on the Choir’s website, which has a > searchable archive of over 7,500 musical tracks recorded live in services.

Regarded by the critics as an expert on Astor Piazzolla’s music – whose work he has interpreted from the age of six – Omar has often been the connecting bridge between classical music and Argentine tango music.

Omar has been a pioneer in taking his instrument to concert halls to play works from the academic repertoire, especially those from the European and Latin American Baroque. As a soloist he has performed with symphony orchestras and chamber groups like the Asturias Symphony Orchestra, the Romanian National Radio Orchestra, the Buenos Aires Philharmonic, the Moldova Philharmonic Orchestra, the Biel Solothurn Symphony Orchestra, the Philharmonic Stat Sibiu, the Brasov Philharmonic, the Kamerata Kronstadt among others.

With Omar as soloist, this album contains the Piazzolla Concerto as well as the Massa Concerto and two of his new compositions for Bandoneon and orchestra.

Being the Bandoneon, Violin and Piano the key instruments for the interpretation of Tango Nuevo, in 2021 Massa invited Markus Däunert and Pianist Kim Barbier to perform as the Massa Trio, unifying his own musical tradition from Buenos Aires with their high artistic level. The result is a powerful and deeply emotional sound, which raises Tango Nuevo to higher spheres.

In addition to his artistic endeavours, Omar has conducted courses and masterclasses on bandoneon and on Astor Piazzolla’s music in universities around the world. His tours have been declared of ‘Cultural and Artistic importance to the country of Argentina’ by the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
