FRANCISCO
ARTURO BORT RAMÓN. Born in Catarroja (Valencia) in 1963,
he started his musical studies at the School of Music of the "La
Artesana" Music Band in Catarroja under Mr. Salvador Chulia.
Later on he was admitted to the Superior Conservatorium of
Music in Valencia where he finished his Saxophone and Harmony
studies under the guidance of Mr. Gregorio Castellano, Mr.
Antonio Daniel and Mr. Jose Bort. In 1987 he won a place as
saxophone teacher at the Municipal Band of Valencia where he
is currently the saxophone soloist. As a composer he is a member
of the S.G.A.E: (General Society of Authors and Editors) and
also of COSICOVA (Association of Composers of the Valencian
Community). His work is centred, almost exclusively, on symphonic
compositions for bands, with perhaps his most outstanding piece
of work being "Llegendes" (a Symphonic Poem), which
was selected as a compulsory piece in the International Competition
of Musical Bands "City of Valencia" in 2000; "Des
de 1903" (Overture), dedicated to the Municipal Band of
Valencia on its first centenary. All his work has been performed
for the first time by the Municipal Band of Valencia and conducted
by Mr. Pablo Sanchez Torrella. Likewise, some of his work has
been performed by the Municipal Symphonic Band of Madrid under
the conductorship of Mr. Enrique Garcia Asensio.
