Father son duo to showcase their extraordinary talent at Montville Hall Concert
FATHER son duo ‘Sons of Garcia’ will showcase the extraordinary talent of renowned guitarist/composer Anthony Garcia and his son virtuoso jazz trumpeter Gabriel Garcia at a special morning performance at Montville Village hall on December 17.
Embarking on their first artistic collaboration together, this exciting new ensemble pays homage to the duos Mexican/American heritage and their shared passion for improvisation, stylistic experimentation and world fusion.
Their music explores an invigorating crossover of jazz, classical, Latin, Spanish and folk music, and the concert will feature original music by Sons of Garcia alongside works by Morricone, Borachov, Villa Lobos, Piazzolla and Jobim.
Anthony Garcia is an acclaimed guitarist, composer and educator born in the United States and raised and educated in South East Asia, Australia and Mexico.
He has recorded, toured and performed extensively throughout the world as a soloist, and alongside numerous creatives across a diverse range of artistic disciplines. His recordings include three solo classical guitar albums, and his exploratory philosophy of music-making has generated a highly personal creative approach.
His son Gabriel Garcia was born in Merida, Mexico and raised and educated in Australia, and is the recipient of the 2017 James Morrison Jazz Scholarship.
Earlier this year Gabriel joined the Josh Batka Quintet, performing at the Jazz Music Institute and will tour Australia as lead trumpeter for the hit musical The Sunshine Club. Gabriel has also performed, toured and recorded with local reggae, rock and pop groups around Queensland as well as joining a stellar collective of diverse artists on the Creative Fusion in Roma project, presented by QPAC.
Sons of Garcia will perform Sketches de Yucatan at 11am on Sunday December 17 at Montville Village Hall, tickets $25-$30+BF available via Humanitix.
