An Afternoon of Spanish Guitar Music
Award-winning classical guitarist Leonardo Garcia returns to the Piedmont Center for the Arts on Sunday, May 5th at 5:00 PM, for a solo concert highlighting the music of Spain. The program will feature the music of composers Domenico Scarlatti, Enrique Granados, Isaac Albéniz, Francisco Tárrega, and others.
Described as a faithful interpreter of Mangorés musical art by Alirio Diaz and as intelligent, musical, and technically impeccable by Eliot Fisk, Leo Garcia is an award-winning classical guitarist, recording artist, author, and sought-after educator.
As a performer, Garcia has performed across North America, South America, and Europe as both a soloist and as a chamber musician. As an educator, he has worked with hundreds of children and families for over 20 years through KinderGuitar. He has authored over 10 curriculum books for KinderGuitar, multiple editions and arrangements of music by Bach, Albéniz, Barrios, and Narváez, and numerous books on guitar technique. His writings have appeared in Guitar Review, Tonebase, the KinderGuitar blog (kinderguitar.com), and Six String Journal (sixstringjournal.com). He has acted as a jury member, performer, and lecturer at musical festivals such as the Bay Areas Junior Bach Festival, the Boston Guitar Festival, the Yale Guitar Extravaganza, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and the Guitar Foundation of Americas International Festival.
Garcías stage presence is riveting, but at the same time he can take the audience into his confidence like a trusted friend. The audience was spellbound as he performed the music of Villa-Lobos, Barrios, Dyens, and Piazzolla Piedmont Post November 2019
