BIOGRAPHY
Antonio Garcia (Jared Antonio Garcia Lyons) is a Spanish guitar soloist performer/instructor from Santiago de Queretaro, Mexico. His trajectory covers performances internationally over the span of over 2 decades. The Spanish guitar inspired the artist to explore the tonal beauty of classical guitar combined with the versatile technique and powerful rhythm of the flamenco guitar where he found a musical balance between the two genres.
Antonio began his formal guitar education under renowned flamenco guitarist Juan Rosas at "Instituto Mexicano de Flamencologia" (Mexican Institute of Flamencology) and "Centro Cultural de Arte Flamenco de San Miguel de Allende" (Flamenco Cultural Center SMA) where he obtained a certificate degree in flamenco guitar technique. Antonio later continued his classical guitar studies abroad under the instruction of Dr. Jon Yerby, former President of the Utah Classical Guitar Society located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
