Through his work, Maestro Jorge Milchberg is a “integrator”; he masterfully connected different musical styles to harmoniously coexist. Firstly, we see the reflection of his academic background in the delicate treatment of sound and expression in every note. On the other hand, his Argentine and Latin American identity shines through in the rhythms and melodies always present in his pieces. Jorge inhabited a diverse context, such as the culturally vibrant Paris of his youth, and drew inspiration from musical and artistic currents, as well as philosophical thinking. His friendships and collaborations extended beyond renowned musicians to include painters, sculptors, writers, actors, etc., undoubtedly influencing his sensitivity and, consequently, his creative expression.

A fundamental value in Jorge was his dedication, reflected in his intimate, meticulous sound—marked by great subtlety and purity with a healing touch. He sought to fully commit himself, ensuring his notes always had meaning, always being present. Reflecting on Vitruvius, he emphasized the importance of musicians, like good architects, being knowledgeable in other disciplines. He considered music an sophisticated art deserving of respect and humanity. In alignment with Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s idea of “wanderings of the spirit,” Jorge’s legacy is an invaluable testament to his profound journeys of the soul.
