 Isabel Negrín López
harpsichord, organ
 Isabel Negrín began her musical journey at the age of eight at the Conservatory of Valladolid (Spain), where she first studied piano. While her academic path initially led her to earn a degree in Chemistry from the University of Valladolid, followed by Master’s degrees in International Business (Menéndez Pelayo University, Madrid) and Cultural Management (University of Alcalá), her passion for music ultimately drew her back to the stage.

She pursued harpsichord studies at the Faculty of Music of UNAM in Mexico City under the guidance of Norma García González, graduating with distinction. In 2024, she completed her Master’s degree in basso continuo at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, studying with Kris Verhelst (basso continuo) and Menno van Delft (harpsichord).

Isabel currently works as a harpsichord accompanist at the Academy of Arts in Brussels and teaches harpsichord and basso continuo at the Conservatory of Dieppe. She is also the artistic director of the Tilo Ensemble and co-founder and pianist of the Duo Lapislázuli, alongside Mexican violinist Fátima Hernández. With a deep love for historical performance and rhetorical expression, she brings sensitivity and imagination to each project she takes on.

Xander went on to the University of Manchester (2013-16), studying cello with Simon Turner and historical performance with Amanda Babington. After a few years working as a freelance cellist, singer and teacher, Xander decided to take the plunge and move to Amsterdam, studying at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with Viola de Hoog (historical cello), Mieneke van der Velden (viola da gamba) and Margaret Urquhart (violone, double bass).
