Programme
A musical journey from the Baroque to the 20th century.

In his richly varied programme, Garcia traces an arc from the elegance of French Baroque music and the structural power of Bach to the colourful sound world of Spanish and Latin American music of the 20th century.
Ticket price and advance booking start date will be announced at a later date.
