Gonz\u00e1lez Errasti has garnered accolades in competitions such as Musicalia and JoJazz. As a soloist, he has performed with notable ensembles, including the Havana Chamber Orchestra, the National Concert Band, and the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n

In collaboration with pianist Mar\u00eda del Henar Navarro, he co-founded the D\u00fao Brillance. Alongside his performance career, Gonz\u00e1lez Errasti also serves as a faculty member at various institutions in Havana.<\/p>\n
