Recognized for his profound musicality and highly expressive sound, Jesús Reina (Málaga, 1986) is one of the most outstanding figures in today’s violin scene.

From an early age, Reina showed an exceptional connection with the violin.

His passion for chamber music has led him to share the stage with distinguished musi- cians such as Guy Braunstein, Paul Neubauer, Judith Jáuregui, and Josu de Solaun. He has participated in prestigious festivals such as the Miami Piano Festival, Music@Menlo in California, Fêtes Musicales and the Pau Casals Festival in France, the Sonoro Festival in Romania, as well as Quincena Musical de San Sebastián and the Festival del Escorial in Spain.

In 2025, Jesús Reina was named Artist-in-Residence of the Orquesta Ciudad de Almería (OCAL), where he collaborates as a soloist in symphonic concerts, a professor in training programs for young musi- cians, and a member of chamber ensembles. Committed to education and musical development, he is, alongside violinist Anna Nilsen, the co-founder and artistic co-director of Festival Málaga Clásica and the Galamian Academy alongside violinist Anna Nilsen, a leading institution for the advanced training of young musicians. His work has been recognized with the Medalla de Honor de Málaga and the Premio Puerta de Andalucía.
