Manuel Lillo Torregrosa (26 September 1940 – 21 November 2024) was a Spanish composer.

Life and career

Torregrosa joined the Banda Sinfónica Municipal de Madrid in 1959, and became E-flat clarinet (requinto in the Spanish language) soloist for them. He was also a member of the Orquesta Nacional de España and founder of the LIM contemporary music group.

He wrote more than 600 works, 70 of them symphonic and the remainder popular. His symphonic works include compositions for E♭ Clarinet, Clarinet and Sax.
