Spanish popular dance performances awakened Carolina Agudín Muñoz’s interest in Spanish folklore at a very early age. From then on, her interests also include traditional classical music, thus forming an artistic vision that combines both styles. Born in Segovia (Spain), Carolina has studied classical guitar at Segovia Conservatory, Madrid Royal Conservatory, and Royal Conservatory of The Hague. She has participated in several masterclasses with important figures of the guitar world such as Tomas Müller, Marcin Dylla, Margarita Escarpa, Andrea de Vitis, Paolo Pegoraro, and Goran Krivokapic. Furthermore, Carolina has performed as a soloist in prestigious halls across Europe such as the Residencia de Estudiantes and CentroCentro de Cibeles in Madrid.

Based in the Netherlands since 2020, Leah is an Artist in Residence at Studio LOOS (Den Haag), where her research focuses on music for acoustic cello and live electronics.
