New York city composer and guitarist Juan Calderon is a native of Ecuador raised in Colombia. He immigrated to Miami at age 20 to escape the political climate of the late 90’s and resides in Manhattan since 2008. Juan’s music blends elements from his experience as a recording and touring rock guitarist in Colombia and Miami, and extensive studies on East Asian music inspired by interaction with musicians and artists in China, Japan, and Indonesia. This is truly original, evocative music. Colombian-American soprano Stephanie Lamprea is the superb soloist in "Six Songs for Soprano and Guitar on poetry by Octavio Gamboa."
