CELIA GARCÍA-GARCÍA
PIANIST
Best known for her versatility, Celia obtained her Master of Music diploma in classical piano performance at Codarts Conservatory (Rotterdam, The Netherlands).
Before she had followed Bachelor studies at Musikene in San Sebastián (Spain) and at ArtEZ hogeschool voor de kunsten with teacher Frank van de Laar (Arnhem, Enschede & Zwolle, The Netherlands). She is currently based in The Netherlands.
Celia is specialized in orchestral playing (piano, celesta and synthesizer) and performs regularly with orchestras such as Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Amsterdam Sinfonietta, Noord Nederlands Orkest, Dutch National Ballet Orchestra, Arnhem Philharmonic Orchestra, Dutch National Youth Orchestra and others.
In February 2016 she recorded an album on solo celesta in Stuttgart (Germany) commissioned by Schiedmayer Celesta.
With her many chamber music ensembles (Duo IJlstra-García, Codigo Trio, Rotterdam Lied Duo, Maas Duo, Duo Vermeer...), she has performed all over The Netherlands and in Spain, Germany, Lithuania, Canada, China and Russia.
In 2011 Codigo Trio recorded their debut album Martyrs, devoted to forgotten repertoire for this relatively unusual ensemble: mezzosoprano, French horn and piano.
She is a member of Alchemy Ensemble and in 2012 she recorded the album Sweet solitude with soprano and artistic director of Alchemy Nicole Jordan.
She is an enthusiastic performer and continuously seeks to push the boundaries of her art: together with tap dancer Marije Nie, Celia created Classical Tap, a duo which highlights hidden rhythms in classical repertoire; and with Florien Hilgenkamp she forms Rabbits at top speed, a comical classical duo (under direction of Marc Krone).
Celia is a member of the Classical Music Rave collective.
Lately she has performed at TV programs De Tiende van Tijl and Maestro, as well as radio programs Opium (Radio 4) and NTR Podium.
She has been praised for her honest interpretation of solo repertoire, which in her case covers all classical styles from Baroque to contemporary music, with an accent on (French/Spanish) music from the early 20th century.
She has got prizes for her solo playing at Xàtiva National Piano Competition, Arlanza Young Pianists Competition and others, and she was a finalist of the Grachtenfestival Conservatorium Concours and Albacete National Piano Competition.
Since 2012, Celia is artistic programmer at Cultuurbrigade Rotterdam, programming events such as Romantiek in Keukenhof and Dag van de Romantische Muziek (Rotterdam), the largest free classical music festival in The Netherlands.
She also works as a ballet accompanist at the Amsterdam University for the Arts and the National Ballet Academy in Amsterdam.
During her studies she was supported by the City Council of Burgos, the Nieuw Haersoltefonds and the program "Jóvenes Excelentes" by Caja de Burgos, for the making of her Master Artistic Research The pianist joins the tutti: an introduction to orchestral playing for pianists.
