The concert is a celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
Dan Garcia is a New York City freelance guitarist, producer, composer, and educator. A native of Madrid, Spain, Daniel holds a master’s degree in classical guitar performance from the College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati, and he is a professor of music at Manhattan University. Dan is an active classical guitar performer and an integral part of the New York City Latin and world music scene.
