Sinfonity, «The First Electric Guitar Orchestra»

Twelve prestigious Spanish guitarists pay tribute to the work of the greatest composers of all times, playing the electric guitar. With extraordinary technique and rigour, they will present an unusual and moving revision of indispensable pieces of classical music, as well as of hits from the XX century. 

Ravel’s Bolero, Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Rossini’s Guillaume Tell’s Overture, J.S. Bach’s, Toccata and Fugue in D Minor will be presented to the audience from a new viewpoint, which respects the original work while bringing it up to date with the sound of electric guitars and amplifiers. Likewise, pieces that are based on the instrument, such as Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, The Beatles’ Yesterday, Earl Scruggs’ Foggy Mountain Breakdown, and others, are already history of the electric guitar, and part of the proposal of these extraordinary guitar masters.

About the Company

Sinfonity was born from the union of twelve guitar masters, with a desire to explore new ways of expression, and to break the existing boundaries between classical and modern. Their first encounter with their audience took place at the opening of Mérida Classical Theatre International Festival, in 2011. Since then, Sinfonity has visited countless national and international festivals, different countries and continents, with the same end result: unanimously acclaimed by their audience.

Pablo Salinas, Sinfonity’s musical director and creator, is a composer, guitarist, pianist, organist, arranger and producer with over forty years of professional experience. A versatile and all-round artist, he is always open to collaborations with all kinds of musicians, styles and ways to make music.
