Polo Ortí creates music that in many cases is difficult to restrict to just one certain style. Undoubtedly the personal and unique character Ortí gives to many of his compositions has earned him numerous accolades from foremost jazz musicians (Gary Burton, Lyle Mays, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Bill Evans, Joe Zawinul, Herbie Hancok, Keith Jarret, etc). Together with these talented musicians of solid musical education, Polo Ortí offers a repertoire of his own compositions in diferents formats (Solo, Trio, Quartet or Group) that performs with great solidity and which, above all, conveys his personal vision of Music.
Polo Ortí has created for the University of Santiago from Quito (Ecuador) a series of Clinics (7 in total) called "Composition of Modern Instrumental Music". Up to now, 5 Clinics have been held throughout the 20/21 Academic Year. Polo Ortí explores the world of Harmony and Melody to create several musical forms. The seminars consists of a Theory part, another Applied Theory part and Practices for students.
(Next Clinics: April, 9 and April 23)
OMN proposes a sound and visual journey by the pianist from Tenerife Polo Ortí, the Uruguayan violinist, Federico Nathan and the Madrid percussionist, Sergio Martínez.
Three generations of composers and performers with solid training and a recognized artistic career, whose common axis revolves around the Berklee College of Music in Valencia, where these musicians carry out their teaching work.
It is here where the idea of lighting a sound proposal is forged that unites its three musical visions: jazz, flamenco and popular - contemporary music, all of them performed under the same prism. Through research, fusion and exploration of new avenues of artistic expression, Ortí, Martínez and Nathan - OMN - create music without borders, on its most versatile side and free from prejudice. In short, a risky, interesting and deeply imaginative proposal.

"This is an historic moment in which humanity is undergoing a major change. We are direct witnesses to a boiling planet burning and stir to clean all impurities. To us to make the change to a better world and for that, we must raise our consciousness, covering a large halo of love for our beloved Earth".
"Vivimos un momento histórico en el que la humanidad está sufriendo un cambio trascendental. Somos testigos directos de una ebullición del planeta que arde y se agita para limpiar todas sus impurezas. De nosotros depende que el cambio sea hacia un mundo mejor y, para ello, debemos elevar nuestras consciencias, cubriendo de un gran halo de amor a nuestra querida Tierra."
