About

‘This album is a way to thank those who awakened a parallel path of my academic musical life: Johann Sebastian Bach and The Beatles.

‘The same organ that accompanied Sir Paul McCartney while he was a choir boy singing the Hymns of the Liturgy and in the Polyphony during the years 1954-56 returns to sound in this recording! Being able to record in such significant location and play these symbolic instrument brings an immense happiness to my heart. It is my way to say thank you as a person and as a musician, using the instrument that has been part of my career for so many years: the organ.

‘The emotion that I already experienced when enjoying the music of the Beatles in my 13 years old of age was contagious, fascinating and went hand in hand with the magic of the discovery of the new works of J.S.Bach that my teacher, Mrs. Renée Bonnet de Pietrafesa told me to study at the piano.

‘My special thanks to these musicians for having sown the most beautiful seeds in my “Being”.’
– Cristina García Banegas, 2019

Cristina García Banegas holds the Chair of Organ studies at the University School of Music in Uruguay. In 1987 she created the Ensemble Vocal e Instrumental De Profundis, a visionary project that has studied and recreated Latin American Baroque music for more than thirty years; also in that same year she founded the International Organ Festival of Uruguay, which has brought many internationally renowned musicians to Uruguay.

She conducts the Children’s Choir Selection of the English College since 1989, the children’s choir “Los Ninos de tu Ciudad” (Children of your City, a programme supported by the Municipality of Montevideo) since 2008 and “DeProfunditos” children’s choir at the Museum of Pre-Colombinus Indigenous Art (Montevideo) created in 2015. Together with this Museum a new project has been consolidated in 2016: “Festival of Musicology and Music for colonial period in Latin-America”.

She continuously presents organ concerts through Europe, Latin America, United States of America, Middle East and Japan. She was often awarded prizes by different institutions and for her artistic labour, in her double role of organist and choir conductor in her country and Europe.
