Producer, pianist and composer Pablo Vergara is a Latin Grammy-nominated musician who has performed across five continents. A classically-trained pianist in his native Chile, Pablo moved to New York to study with some of his jazz heroes like Barry Harris, Ron Carter and Bruce Barth. Since then he has worked with artists like saxophone legend Gato Barbieri, Dave Valentin, Claudia Acuña, Fred Wesley, Husnu Senlendirici, Jacques Schwartz-Bart, Ibrahim Maalouf, Gregoire Maret, Edmar Castañeda, Alain Pérez, Sara Serpa, Bebel Gilberto, Mino Cinelu, Keith Carlock and the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen.
Vergara composed and produced the score for Alejandro Fernandez Almendras's ¨To Kill A Man¨, winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival and Dutch Circle of Film Critics Award at Rotterdam Film Festival. The successful collaboration sparked Vergara’s interest in writing music for film. He recently composed and produced the original soundtrack for Fernandez Almendras last two movies: Chilean box-office hit "My Amigo Alexis" -currently on Netflix- and the Czech black-and-white drama "The Play".
Mr. Vergara studied at the Julliard School and at City College of New York and holds an MA in Music. He studied orchestration with Daniel Ott, counterpoint with Jonathan Pieslak and conducting with Vincent La Selva.
