Hailed as ‘the new face of classical guitar’ after winning every major international guitar competition within the space of just a few months, Thibaut Garcia has had the critics reaching for new superlatives, as well as comparisons with the great guitarists of the past.

Described as a young Frenchman with an old Spanish soul, his passionate and charismatic playing has resulted in sold-out tours across North and South America, which he now follows with a performance at the Newbury Spring Festival.

His programme is taken from his two recent Warner Classics recordings, Bach Inspirations and Leyendas, ranging from Bach to Piazolla and drawing inspiration from the many cultures experienced on his extensive travels.
