Luis de Pablo Costales (born January 28, 1930 in Bilbao ) is a Spanish composer and music teacher.
De Pablo had a musical education since childhood, but then studied law at the Complutense University of Madrid and after graduating in 1952 worked for several years as a lawyer for the Iberia Líneas Aéreas de España . In 1958 he founded the group Nueva Música , in which Cristóbal Halffter was also involved, in 1959 the concert series Tiempo y Música and in 1965 the group Alea and the first electroacoustic studio in Spain. He translated the Schönberg biography of Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt and writings by Anton von Webern , organized a biennial for contemporary music in 1964 and with all these activities led Spanish music out of its isolation caused by Franquism .
De Pablo himself went to Germany in the early 1960s, where he met composers such as Bruno Maderna , Pierre Boulez , György Ligeti and Karlheinz Stockhausen at the Darmstadt summer courses , and met Max Deutsch, a student of Schönberg, in Paris . In 1972 he founded the Encuentros de Pampelune , a festival for music, theater, cinema and visual arts.
