She has participated in numerous concert series both within Spain and internationally, including the Hanoi International Guitar Festival in Vietnam, the Guanacaste Guitar Festival in Costa Rica, the Andrés Segovia International Guitar Festival in Madrid, the Mediterranean Guitar Festival in Barcelona, Sonidos del Alcázar in Seville, and Conciertos de Palacio in Medinaceli (Soria).

Elena has also appeared as a soloist with the Ciudad de Getafe Symphony Orchestra, the Camera Complutense, and the Athanor Orchestra in Split (Croatia), with whom she performed the Concierto de Aranjuez.

Her recordings have earned her several awards and distinctions, such as the Melómano de Oro from Melómano Magazine in 2024, and Bronze Medals for Instrumentalist and Best Album at the 2025 Global Music Awards for Luz tras la Oscuridad. In 2023, she won Best Instrumentalist at the InterContinental Music Awards with her performance of Isaac Albéniz’s Capricho Catalán, featured on her album Rumores del Mediterráneo.

Her dedication to education complements her experience in various pedagogical initiatives, such as the 75th Anniversary Commemoration of the Concierto de Aranjuez, organized by SGAE, the Escuela Popular de Madrid, and the Camerata Musicalis orchestra. In recent years, she has also developed an interest in cultural management and is a founding member of the Madrid International Guitar Festival.

Elena’s deep passion for music emerged at an early age. After earning a degree in Chemical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and a Guitar Degree from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid—studying with maestros Gabriel Estarellas, Iliana Matos, and Tomás Campos—she pursued further artistic and technical refinement through the first Master’s Degree in Classical Guitar Performance in Seville. There, she studied under Francisco Bernier, Judicaël Perroy, Zoran Dukić, Pablo Márquez, Paolo Pegoraro, and Lorenzo Micheli.

Additionally, she has participated in masterclasses with some of the most prominent guitarists and figures in the field, including Leo Brouwer, David Russell, Manuel Barrueco, Pepe Romero, Ricardo Gallén, Aniello Desiderio, Joaquín Clerch, and Eduardo Fernández.
