Paco Garcia (Tenor)

Born: July 9, 1992 - Reims, France

The French tenor, Paco Garcia, started playing music from an early age. He started at the Conservatoire de Reims with modern cello and then at the Conservatoire de Châlons-en-Champagne with Baroque cello. He discovered singing at the age of 12 at Cathédrale de Reims where he would spend two years during which he would have the opportunity to participate in several projects as a soloist (soprano) such as J.S. Bach's St John Passion (BWV 245) with the Académie Sainte Cécile under the direction of Philippe Couvert or W.A. Mozart's Die Zauberflöte at the Opéra de Reims under the direction of Vincent Barthe.

Only after having passed his baccalaureate, he did seriously consider working on his voice. He enrolled at the age of 19 at the Conservatoire du 1er arrondissement de la ville de Paris and entered the class of Valérie Millot. Three years later, he entered the specialized Diplôme d'études musicales (DEM) and passed his singing prize the following year. He worked in parallel with the ensemble La Tempête under the direction of Simon-Pierre Bestion and also with the ensemble Les Cris de Paris under the direction of Geoffroy Jourdain.

Since September 2015, Paco Garcia is a pupil at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse (CNSMD) de Paris in the class of Alain Buet and had the opportunity to work in master-classes organized by the Conservatoire, with Raphaël Pichon (director of Ensemble Pygmalion) or Benoît Haller (director of the ensemble La Chapelle Rhénane). He is a member of and La Chapelle Harmonique (Director: Valentin Tournet). He currently lives in Paris, France.
