Andrea Valeri was born in Pontedera February 27, 1991: from Australia to New Zealand, from Russia to Canada, from Europe to the African continent, Andrea continues to reap a worldwide success since the age of 16 years.
Defined as the “Prince of the Acoustic guitar”, and a new ambassador of acoustic music, Andrea, despite his very young age is now a veteran of many of the biggest stages around the globe.
Andrea began his career at 10 studying classical guitar techniques first, to pass through an electric “phase” after that, and finally leading to the acoustic guitar.
Here he begins to absorb new techniques such as the Thumbstyle, fingerstyle, flatpicking and many others, so to be able to synthesize them all through his skills on the six strings acoustic guitar.
Aged eighteen Andrea was awarded the title of “Italian musical excellence.”
 
At his age he has already released 6 solo albums : “The Secret of Silence” (2007), “The Trip” (2008), “Maybe” (2010), “Daydream” (2011), “Race Around the World “(2014),” Mediterraneo “(2016), and dozens of other collaborations with some of the most important artists of the guitar and music world today.
Andrea has shared the stage, toured the world and recorded with many of the six strings masters including: Michael Fix, Adam Rafferty, François Sciortino, Tony Cox, Tazenda, Van Larkins, Maneli Jamal, John Doan, Goran Kuzminac Daniele Bazzani, Buck Wolters, Andrew Veivers, Nick Charles, Robbie Long, Vincenzo Zitello, Bryan Rason, Thomas Leeb, Marco Baracchino, Mickey Murphy, Alberto Caltanella, Ciosi, Roberto Dalla Vecchia and many more …
Guitarists who have inspired Andrea define him as a “Star of the guitar world.”
His style is constantly evolving and his success is growing day by day: Andrea is currently on a world tour to promote his new album “Mediterraneo”, produced by Vinile Records and published by Myrope editions.

INTEGRANTES
El Ensamble de Guitarras de Quilmes esta integrado por 11 guitarristas y un director.

Director:
Ignacio López

El grupo surge a partir del trabajo compositivo y de arreglador del Maestro José Ignacio López López. En colaboración con él, Ariel Osuna reconocido concertista de guitarra realiza hacia mediados de 2011 una selección de estudiantes avanzados y egresados de diversas instituciones de zona sur (Escuela de Bellas Artes Carlos Morel de Quilmes, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes), para que integren el ensamble.
Basado en sus experiencias anteriores de dirección con el Barcelona Guitar Ensamble, Ensamble de Guitarras Luthier (España) y diversas agrupaciones de música de cámara, el director López se propuso conformar un ensamble de guitarras con particularidades propias de un formato de agrupación camarística nuevo hasta el momento, que aborde repertorio original de compositores argentinos, obras tradicionales de la música sinfónica española, y del repertorio popular latinoamericano.

El Ensamble se basa en una escritura de 8 partes. Cada una es ejecutada en una guitarra clásica tradicional. Por razones prácticas no hay otro tipo de instrumentos en el núcleo de la orquesta, sin embargo está prevista la incorporación de músicos solistas invitados, y/o bailarines para enriquecer la puesta en escena de los conciertos.

Todas las partes musicales tienen importancia; este concepto resulta muy positivo para el participante y su actitud dentro del conjunto.

La disposición escénica es de dos grupos enfrentados (dos cuartetos), con las primeras guitarras en los extremos y no la tradicional disposición de voces de izquierda a derecha. Con ello se genera claridad en el resultado sonoro, y mayor dinamismo en los diálogos musicales y en los contrastes.
