Antonia Tejeda Barros (Barcelona, 1975) is a recorder player, violin player, book-eater and mother of three wonderful children. Her specialty is to work a lot and earn very little. (Don’t read more if it bores you). She studied recorder and violin at the Professional Conservatory of Music in Badalona, the School of Music of Barcelona and the Superior Conservatory of Music in Barcelona. From 1998 to 2002 she lived in Holland, where she studied recorder with the wonderful Dorothea Winter at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. She got her Art Bachelor’s Degree in 2002, specializing in Recorder, Early Music and Pedagogy. She is currently a member of Rubato Appassionato and Dionysus Consort. She is a co-founder of the Company Camaleón de papel, the label AcoustiCDelicatessen, and the Philosophy & Art magazine Humano, creativamente humano. She is the creator of the show El tigre flautista y las estrellas and a co-creator of the shows Música en la selva and En los Kampos de la Muerte. In 2015 she finished her Master’s Degree in Philosophy at the UNED (Cum Laude) with a thesis on Viktor Frankl and Sartre, Auschwitz, and the death of God (directed by the distinguished Manuel Fraijó). She is currently pursuing her PhD in Philosophy.
She has two Blogs: on one Blog she writes about Philosophy, Music, and whatever she feels like, and on the other one she writes only about cinema. She has lots of recorder, violin and composition students in her small musical corner.
