Alfred Jimenez is a contemporary music composer and thinker whose artistic approach often stems from the foundation of silence, which he views as a physical material that requires great effort to transform into sound. He strives to create music that showcases the performer's struggle between freedom and strain, generating a universe of contrasting emotions. Alfred received his master's degree from Malmö Academy of Music under the guidance of Prof. Luca Francesconi and later completed his studies at Universität fur Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Vienna under the tutelage of Prof. Detlev Müller-Siemens.

Alfred is currently a Ph.D. Candidate at Berkeley, University of California, and is pursuing his Ph.D. in music under the mentorship of Prof. Ken Ueno, Prof. Edmund Campion, Prof. Cindy Cox and Prof. Carmine Cella.

(FI), Auditivvokal Dresden (DE), Norrköping Symphony Orchestra (SE), Antwerpen Symphony Orchestra (BE), Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra (SE), Flower City Brass (US), Musica Vitae (SE), Fontana Mix Ensemble (IT), Kreutzer Quartet (UK), Ensemble Boswil (CH), Ensemble Nordlys (DK), and Norrbotten Neo (SE).
