Joan Lluís Moraleda i Perxachs (1943) is very representative for his generation within the musical life of Barcelona. He studied at the Conservatori Superior Municipal de Barcelona, where he was distinguished with the 'Premi d'Honor' [Honor Prize] for oboe and composing, as well as with the 'Premi Extraordinari de Composició' [Extraordinary Composing Prize].
He was a member of the Orquestra Ciutat de Barcelona as an oboist until 1980, when he decided to further his oboe, composing and conducting studies in France with T. Aubin and P Pierlot. He later studied with A. Ros-Marbà.
As a composer, he has been awarded several prizes in different Cobla music competitions. He is open to all kinds of musical interests. He has been awarded the 'Obra del Ballet Popular' and the 'Agustí Borgunyó' prizes for the sum of his contributions to this field.
He was a close collaborator of the deceased Ernest Lluch, with whom he built a team in order to perform again, between 1997 and 2000, the forgotten Catalan operas 'Il Telemaco nell'isola di Calipso' by F. Sor and 'Tassarba' by E. Morera.
He was principal invited conductor of the Filharmonia Mieczyslawa Karlowicza of Sttetin (Poland) for ten years and was principal conductor of the COBLA SIMFÒNICA DE CATALUNYA, an ambitious project that was led by Antoni Ros Marbà.
He also was associate conductor of the Banda Municipal de Barcelona.
