Isle of Wight

 

Ricardo García-Curbelo is a unique (harpist soloist) Musician , Composer and Poet known as ‘’El Cóndor’; resident in the UK, member of the PRS and representative of The Latin American Professionals  abroad.

 

This dedicated artist who has represented Latin American musical and poetry culture, nationally and internationally, on a wide variety of stages from a very young age - radio & TV, educational institutions, festivals, concerts and charity performances, to name but a few - was to be known for his passionate, gifted way of communicating with the public, also to be honoured on several occasions. In the UK he has shared the stage with different accomplished soloists such as Professor/Guitarist David Caswell.

He has performed several solo concerts; his performances have earned him many compliments. His spellbinding routines – a colourful rhythmic journey though different Latin American cultures – have prompted Time Out to declare ‘[He] has got to be seen to be believed’.   Indeed, Ricardo invariably offers most of us here in Europe a very different and much more rhythmic and exciting experience of harp music Variety is provided by the skilful performance of traditional Latin American pieces together with many of his own compositions.

Ricardo’s poetical compositions such as  The Homo sapiens Dream bring today’s Latin American music and poetry to a new dimension. The Homo sapiens Dream is one of his more recent recorded CDs. This dramatic poetical progressive interpretation of human evolution has been much acclaimed by audiences. It was thanks to this piece, that Ricardo was presented as the perfect act for the day at the London Natural History Museum, during the Exhibition Road Festival in June this year.

After performances in the Fishguard International Festival, O'Carolan Harp Festival in Ireland, the Welsh National Eisteddfod, Ebbw Vale, the Woodford Festival in London this year. Ricardo is delighted to have been invited by Professor David Caswell to The Isle of Wight to perform this concert at St Catherine’s Church in Ventnor.
