Jorge Picó
Spanish Multi-Instrumentalist and Musical Showman
Spain
Without Légère, enjoying my work would be absolutely impossible. Their reeds offer me total comfort, freedom to move between instruments as I switch from one to another, and the ability to achieve the sound I envision and desire with each of them. I’d be completely lost without them.
Born in Alicante (Spain) in 1988. Jorge Lorente Picó began his musical training with the saxophone but soon focused on the flute, the instrument with which he graduated in 2014 with top honors under the guidance of Juan Francisco Cayuelas at the “Conservatorio Superior de Música de Murcia”. Between 2014 and 2021, he developed an intense professional activity in music conservatories, symphony orchestras, wind bands, chamber groups, and more.
Starting in 2021, Jorge took a new direction in his career. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, he began creating musical videos in which he single-handedly performs nearly all the sections of a symphony orchestra. To enrich these creations, he self-taught himself additional woodwind instruments (oboe, english horn, clarinets, bassoon) and violin, applying his expressive and theatrical resources.
Through a meticulous process of recording and editing, he builds audiovisual pieces where each instrumental line — from strings and woodwinds to brass, and sometimes even choral parts — is performed by himself. This work, which combines instrumental virtuosity, artistic sensitivity, and production technical skills, is embodied in videos such as his versions of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, Rossini’s William Tell Overture, and Handel’s Hallelujah, among others, under the label “Picó Symphony Orchestra,” where he literally becomes a one-man orchestra.
His versatility and technical mastery opened doors in musical theater as a woodwind doubler, collaborating on productions at the Teatro del Soho Caixabank in Málaga under the direction of Antonio Banderas and with other production companies, as well as on international tours.
As a soloist, he has led highly original stage-musical projects, such as his interpretation of Ravel’s Boléro, in which he consecutively performs the solos on eight different instruments alongside the orchestra, demonstrating exceptional technical and artistic versatility. Noteworthy is also the creation of his own show, “PicóSymphony, The Orchestra Boy,” a proposal that fuses music and theater, where he embodies a boy fascinated by the orchestra who dreams of playing all its instruments. Throughout the show, he performs solo pieces on multiple instruments while bringing the main character to life, combining musical virtuosity with an expressive acting facet.
He currently forms part of the orchestra of Stage Entertainment Spain as a woodwind doubler, balancing this role with his own creative projects as a performer and showman.
