Thibaut Garcia

Guitarist Thibaut Garcia has gained attention for innovative programming and technique and for a style seemingly shaped by his partly Spanish ancestry. He released a recital album, Demain dès l'aube, on the Contrastes label in 2015. That same year, he won the Guitar Foundation of American Competition, which broadened his reach in North America. He has also toured in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Argentina, difficult markets for foreign guitarists to crack, and he has appeared as far afield as Australia and the French colony of New Caledonia. In Europe, he has been a ubiquitous presence. Garcia issued Leyendas in 2016 and followed that up with Bach Inspirations in 2018, Aranjuez in 2020, and À sa guitare, on which he was teamed with countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, in 2021.
