Fátima Alcázar Rodríguez (Cuenca)
She began her musical training at the age of six in her hometown of Cuenca, Spain, where she received an award at the national Ciudad de Cuenca Competition in 2007. She later studied saxophone with Mariano García at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Aragón, graduating with Honours.
In 2021, as winner of the CSMA Soloist Competition, she performed with the Conservatory Philharmonic Orchestra. She subsequently completed a Master's degree in Saxophone Performance and the Konzertexamen at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln with Daniel Gauthier and José Luis Estellés. During this period, she was awarded the Deutschlandstipendium on two occasions and received additional support through the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
She is currently pursuing a Master's Specialised in Chamber Music with a Minor in Music Education at the Bern University of the Arts. Her studies are supported by several foundations, including the Sylvain Brunschwig Foundation.
As a soloist, she has performed at venues and festivals including Fundación Juan March, Madrid (2022), Schlosskonzerte Thun, Switzerland (2026), the Auditorio de Cuenca and Resonare Barcelona. In the 2025/26 season, she was selected as a solo artist for MUSAE, Spain's national programme bringing live music to museums and cultural institutions.
She has collaborated on numerous occasions with Grupo Enigma, the chamber orchestra of the Auditorio de Zaragoza. Among these projects was the Spanish premiere of Die Stadt ohne Juden at the Mozart Hall of the Auditorio de Zaragoza in 2021. She also performed for several years with the Municipal Wind Band of Cuenca, further expanding her experience in orchestral and wind ensemble repertoire.
Alongside her performing career, Fátima is Professor of Saxophone and Wind Ensemble Director at several public music schools in Germany, where she combines instrumental teaching with ensemble coaching and artistic development.
As the alto saxophonist of Osimun Quartet, she oversees the ensemble's artistic curation, programme development and public communication, playing a central role in shaping its artistic identity. She is particularly interested in designing concert experiences that unite repertoire, narrative and context, creating performances that foster a direct and meaningful dialogue with audiences.
She is also active as a composer. Her first work for solo saxophone, Cantares, was premiered at the Auditorio de Cuenca in 2023.
Before dedicating herself fully to the saxophone, she was a member of the Conservatorio de Cuenca Children's Choir, with which she performed at venues including Madrid's Royal Theatre and the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
