Born in Zaragoza in 1999, Miguel began his musical training at the age of four thanks to his parents' encouragement, starting with piano lessons. Two years later, he discovered the viola da gamba, an instrument that captivated him with its sound and expressiveness. At the age of seven, he entered the Zaragoza Conservatory of Music, where he studied with Fernando Marín.

His commitment to the instrument led him, at the age of 18, to move to Barcelona to study viola da gamba at the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (ESMUC), under the tutelage of Emmanuel Balsa, obtaining a first-class honours degree. During this period, he broadened his training by studying the baroque cello.

He has received advice from renowned performers such as Guido Balestracci, Marianne Muller, Myriam Rignol, Noelia Reverte, Vittorio Ghielmi and Wieland Kuijken, and occasionally collaborates with artists such as Olivier Fortin (Ensemble Masques) and Manuel Minguillón (Collegium Musicum Madrid).


His artistic career has taken him to countries such as South Korea and Mexico, where he has also given master classes.

Miguel Bonal has been recognised in various national competitions, including the 2020 Spanish Youth Music Competition., where he won First Prize, the EMCY Prize and the Úbeda and Baeza Festival Prize. At the 2021 Primer Palau, held at the Palau de la Música Catalana, he was awarded a runner-up prize, the Critics' Prize and the Catalunya Música Prize, which enabled him to record his first solo album, From silence, including his own arrangement of Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tárrega.
