Our History

“I would like to note that violinist Antonio García Egea demonstrates great

ability as an instrumentalist and artist. His discipline and dedication promise him an

excellent career (…) for all these reasons, I am pleased to express my warm

recognition of his qualities as an artist and recommend him to take on

musical responsibilities at the highest level” (Plácido Domingo, 2015).

generation, Antonio García (1989) has given concerts in the United States,

performances have been acclaimed by specialist critics:

unquestionable talents of violin performance” (De Juan, 2011).

“…García Egea is a musician with a powerful and crystal-clear sound. (…) He responded

with a profound reading, dense at times, with powerful cadences and an

exceptional sound‘ (Artaza, 2018). ’…The clarity of García Egea’s violin

stood out above the thick, condensed sound of the cello…” (Cantón,

2020).
