CARLOS VILLANUEVA | guitar, charango, zampoñas, kena and voice
Carlos Villanueva (b. Chile, 1968) is a multi-instrumentalist musician, composer,
singer and teacher. Learning guitar and traditional Latin American instruments
(charango, zampoñas, kena) from an early age, he was selected as one of twenty
applicants to take up formal tertiary studies at the Conservatorio de Musica,
Universidad de Chile in 1986. Upon migrating to Australia in 1988, Carlos has
been working as a professional musician for numerous Musica Viva Australia
performances in Australia and overseas as well as leading his own ensemble,
Tigramuna, which has played at many international jazz, world and Latin
festivals.
As a multi-instrumentalist musician, Carlos has worked and recorded for various
artists including Nigel Westlake’s IMAX soundtrack 'Solarmax' and Kim Sanders’
world/middle eastern fusion ensemble. In 1998 Carlos received an ARIA Award
nomination for an album of his own compositions and he continues to attract
acclaim for composing and arrangements, with his original arrangements of
traditional Latin American songs performed with the acclaimed Sydney
Children’s Choir at City Recital Hall, Angel Place.
Carlos is currently completing his PhD in Music Composition at the Sydney
Conservatorium of Music and fulfils teaching and performance commitments in
Chile, Australia and Asia.
DANIEL ROJAS | Composer, Pianist
Daniel Rojas is a Chilean-born Australian pianist — and arguably Sydney's best
Latin pianist — as well as being renowned as an award-winning composer
specialising in the rich and vibrant Latin American aesthetic. In his work as a
composer and improviser, Rojas draws from a broad musical palette that
includes Latin American indigenous, folk, classical and popular traditions, and
Western contemporary classical and jazz languages and techniques.
Daniel Rojas’ formal studies in piano, violin and music theory began in Australia
studying with Neta Maughan, Elizabeth Green, Phyllida Green, and Gianfranco
Ricci, nurturing his interest in the music of various cultures and leading to
performances with classical and world music ensembles such as Jacana,
Tigramuna and the Great Bowing Company, as well as solo concerts in Australia,
Asia, and South America.
Rojas’ musical experience also extends to composing and conducting for film,
and as a passionate music educator, working with communities, schools and
festivals. Invited for residencies (as composer and musician) at a number of
institutions around Australia including the Queensland Music Festival, Rojas is
currently Associate Lecturer in Music Teaching and Research at the University of
Sydney.
