A passionate advocate of new music, Francisco collaborates with renowned composers to create, record and premiere new works for guitar. He won the 2020 Ibermúsicas funding award to commission and premiere the “Suite Warmikuna” by Ecuadorian composer Pedro Barreiro, and is currently working with celebrated Welsh composer Stephen Goss on a series of 12 preludes for guitar (Winterbourne Preludes).
