Studio MEMBERS
Joe Carignan Garcia
Guitar
I attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory under Douglas Niedt and the Lamont School of Music under Ricardo Iznaola. I've also had the the privilege of studying with Pepe Romero, Christopher Parkening, Manuel Barueco, Sharon Isbin, Antigoni Goni, Fred Hand, David Leisner, and Sergio and Odair Assad.
I enjoy performing a wide variety of repertoire, including classical, Spanish, tango, and folk music. Mostly, I enjoy the opportunity that chamber music provides to collaborate with other musicians. I have performed in duets with the violin, cello, marimba, voice, piano, and guitar. Also, string quartets, orchestras and other mixed ensembles have been the most exciting musical adventures.
