SOLO RECITAL THIBAUT GARCIA
[Translate to English:] Garcia

Participants

  • Thibaut Garcia Guitar

Programme

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

French guitarist Thibaut Garcia is one of the outstanding artists of his generation. With subtle expressiveness, technical mastery, and a special poetic quality of sound, he takes the audience on 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.

Programme

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827)

Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943)
Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18

This composition demands tonal breadth, sweeping arcs of tension and the ability to combine virtuosity with deep emotion. In radiant sonority and lyrical intensity, his music unfolds with moving expressive power.
