Nubia Montes is a Mexican singer who discovered her passion for medieval music after graduating in classical singing in 2021. During her professional studies, she also trained in cello and piano to complement her understanding of musical expression and interpretation, experiences that have subtly influenced her approach and brought depth to her understanding of both vocal and instrumental repertoire.

Her journey into early music began with a workshop by Paloma Gutiérrez del Arroyo, inspiring her to explore medieval repertoires. Since 2022, she has been studying full-time under her guidance at the Escuela de Música Medieval y de Tradición Oral in Madrid, focusing on oral transmission and manuscript study.

Following this path, she has further enhanced her training by attending intensive courses led by extraordinary and inspiring specialists, including Brigitte Lesne, Catherine Schroeder, Katarina Livljanić, Anne Delafosse, Ensemble Cantaderas, with practice experiences spanning Spain, France, and Italy.

She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Patrimonio Musical at UNIA-UGR-UniOvi and serves as a research assistant on the project RESOUND: Giving Voice to Hispanic Chant through a Phylogenetic Study of Medieval Plainchant (ERC Advanced Grant, 2023–2029), deepening her commitment to the study, preservation, and dissemination of medieval chant today.
