Jesus Merino Ruiz is a violinist and leader of the Ensemble Summa.

Born in Cuenca (Spain) in 1991, Jesus Merino Ruiz began taking lessons with Ruth Olmedilla, before receiving his Bachelor in modern violin with Lina Tur at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Aragón. Then, he moved to Berlin, where he pursued a Master in Chamber Music with Prof. Eberhard Feltz at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler, together with the Cuarteto Klimt. He continued with a Solo performance Master with Sebastian Hamann at the Hochschule für Musik Luzern, as well as an Historical Performance Master with Petra Müllejans at the Hochschule für Musik Frankfurt.

In 2008 he was accepted to the Indiana University (USA) where he studied with Jaime Laredo, Mauricio Fuks, Beaux Arts Trio, Mimi Zweig and Brenda Brenner.

He serves regularly as guest Concertmaster of the Concerto Köln, and plays with the Collegium Vocale Gent, II Convito, Bach-Akademie and Kölner Akademie.

Together with his friends, all of them important influences in his life, he founded the Ensemble Summa, source of inspiration and principal receptor of his energy. They perform in Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and every summer in Monzón (Huesca), where they founded in 2017 the Festival Internacional de Música de Cámara de Monzón.
