García

PERFORMER

Aitor is a natural guitarist from Barcelona who has a warm sound and subtle expressiveness as his hallmark. Thanks to his way of interpreting music, he manages to keep the listener surrounded by the environment full of timbres and colors. These interpretive nuances come largely from the tradition of the Catalan school of guitar, as among his teachers we can find Àlex Garrobé and Guillem-Pérez Quer.

Aitor has received advice from important guitar soloists such as: Zoran Dukic, Margarita Escarpa, Pavel Steidl, Ricardo Gallén, Aniello Desiderio, among others.

He was invited to develop his soloist work at emblematic places in Barcelona, such as Teatrino del Liceu, el Auditori, el Palau Güell or el Recinto Modernista de la Torre de las Aguas de Barcelona, also in this city. He has participated in international festivals such as the Hersbruck Guitar Festival in Germany, the Vasaros Klavisas muzikiniai pokalbiai or the Kretingale Muzikinis Festivalis in Lithuania. In 2019 he made his debut in China, performing recitals in the city of Beijing.

Apart from all of the above he carries out important educational work, both nationally and internationally. On the one hand he is a member of the teaching staff of the Escola Municipal de Castellar del Vallés, as well as the Chamber Music Summer Course at Castellar de´n Hug, where he has been giving classes since 2014. As for his international teaching work, he has participated in the Masterclasses for students from the Xi’aN and Beijing conservatories in China. He is usually invited to form part of the jury at different international competitions for young performers.

In March 2022, he recorded his first album entitled “Homenajes” under the JSM Records record label in which the Guitarlift brand collaborated on the project.

JOSEP

Calbet

COMPOSER

I, Josep Calbet Romeu (Barbera de la Conca Tarragona, España), started in the world of music in a self-taught and influenced way by the popular musical currents of my time (Rock,Jazz, Pop, etc.), using as a instrument the electric guitar, but I immediately lean towards the Spanish classical guitar and it isthen when I look for a teacher to instruct me properly.

I access several “masterclasses” of important concert players (Carles Trepat, Manuel Gonzalez, Marco Samili, etc.) and go in depth into the most genuine repertoire of the guitar era (Albéniz,
Granados, Turina, etc).

But, as a restless person, I became interested in flamenco art and began a long period of study of this genre, without any other instruction than specialized books.

As a creative personality, I have taken advantage of all this information and learning to get my own interpretative and compositional musical personality.

I have presented myself to the public as a soloist and as another member of some musical formations own, thus exhibiting my works. The independent recordings remain as evidence of some of these compositions.
