At his 1979 Wigmore Hall debut in London, one critic hailed Gerald Garcia as a performer of rare quality and he had been described by John Williams as one of today`s foremost guitarists. Garcia has made many tours of the Far East and Europe and has appeared at the major international festivals in Great Britain, including the Edinburgh, Aldeburgh and South Bank Festivals. His concert engagements have included performances with many leading ensembles and soloists, among them the London Sinfonietta, John Williams and Friends and Paco Pena. As a teacher and lecturer he has been involved in workshops with the English National Opera and Kent Opera, while the breadth of his musical sympathies is evident in his arrangements of Chinese and Celtic music for guitar and orchestra, a significant extension of the guitar repertoire. With the flautist Clive Conway he has toured and broadcast entensively in Britain and has played at the Glastonbury Pop Festival and on the ocean line the QE II.

Gerald Garcia was born in Hong Kong, which he left for schooling at Ratcliffe College, followed by the study of chemistry at New College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1971. He has remained in Oxford, his base for a busy career as a recitalist, soloist and a conductor of chamber orchestras.
