Margalida holds a Master of Performance in Piano with Distinction and a Bachelor of Music with Honours from the Royal College of Music in London, where she studied with Professors Gordon Fergus-Thompson and Ruth Nye. Prior to this, she studied at the Yehudi Menuhin School, where she worked with Marcel Baudet and Renana Gutman.
Born in Ciutadella de Menorca, Margalida began playing the piano at the age of six with Andrea Piris. By the age of ten, she had already won first prizes at the International Piano Competition Vila de Capdepera and the Young Performers of the Balearic Islands Competition. She subsequently gained a place and scholarship at the Yehudi Menuhin School, an institution for musically gifted young musicians, where she continued her studies for three years.
Her musical education and career have been supported by the Royal College of Music Pauline Hartley Award, Kathleen Trust, Association of Artists of Madrid (AIE), St Marylebone Foundation, and EMI Music Sound Foundation. She has also participated in masterclasses with distinguished musicians including Miriam Batashvili, Piers Lane, David Dolan, and Josep Colom.
A passionate advocate for Spanish piano music, Margalida regularly includes works by Spanish composers in her concert programmes. Her repertoire features composers such as Isaac Albéniz, Manuel de Falla, and Enrique Granados, whose music she has performed throughout her career. During her studies at the Royal College of Music, she performed works by Spanish composers at the RCM’s annual Festival of Piano, with her performances streamed worldwide. Her commitment to Spanish repertoire continues to be an important part of her artistic identity.
Alongside her performing career, Margalida is deeply committed to music education and nurturing the next generation of musicians. In 2022, she founded the International Piano Academy, an institution specialising in classical piano dedicated to providing students with high-level musical training and opportunities for artistic development.
Margalida is also an artist supported by the Talent Unlimited Foundation in London, an organisation dedicated to promoting and supporting talented emerging musicians.
