Christian Laremont was born in Caracas, Venezuela. He grew up in the US and moved to Spain in 1997 where he completed his formal music studies at the Consevatorio Padre Antonio Soler in El Escorial, Madrid obtaining a B.A. in Guitar Performance (2002) under the tutelage of Jose Carlos Baños, semi-finalist at the prestigious Spanish guitar competition Francisco Tárrega. Between 2008-2013 Christian continued to perfect his technique and muscianship with Domingo Carbajal, one of Regino Sainz de la Maza’s most distinguished pupils. Regino was the first appointed scholar under the Franco Regime and was the person for whom the Aranjuez Concerto was written. Apart from this, Christian has a B.A. in Media of Communication (1994) from the Universidad Complutense of Madrid. He has been in the Bay Area now since 2013 and he intends to do a Master of Music in Guitar at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in the fall semester of 2016.
Some of our performers have been:
Taija Warbelow, originally from Fairbanks, Alaska, is the violist in the Bay Area based Friction Quartet. She studied at the Juilliard Pre-College with Toby Appel and at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with Jodi Levitz. Though bios are a necessary part of being a performer, she feels they are impersonal and would prefer for audiences to get to know her through her playing and by talking to her after the performance.
Bassist Eugene Theriault is a born and raised San Francisco native. He graduated with a B.M. from the Oberlin Conservatory and an M.M. from the San Francisco Conservatory, where he studied with Scott Haigh and Steve Tramontozzi, respectively. The performance of new music has been a part of his life since high school and he continues to be a strong supporter of contemporary music, performing most recently with the San Francisco Conservatory’s New Music Ensemble, Opera Parallele, and the Berkeley Symphony. He currently works as a freelance performer and teacher in the Bay Area, and enjoys playing a wide range of musics.
