From Studio to Stage

Standard

The goal of Animaguitara is to encourage guitar learners from all walks of life to perform from the studio to the stage. Sounds of Freedom is a performance platform that features the students of Jonathan Gonzales. Last summer 2016, we staged the mini-concert at the Salvatorre Lounge in Makati. Sounds of Freedom featured live solo guitar performances and performances with a band. Animaguitara has been offering programs in guitar education and small ensemble instruction since 2003.

Incidentally, the lounge is also a treasure trove of memorabilia and signature guitars displayed on the walls to delight guitar aficionados.

SM Pasig invited us again to mount With Strings Attached! Last November 22, 2014 the Saint Paul Gift Program celebrated the Christmas season. The guitar students of Teacher Jonathan were accompanied by a chorale. We encourage young people to spend their holidays productively by engaging in leisure activities. Learn to play guitar and perform a song for loved ones be it Christmas, special occasions, or just because.

Keys and Strings 2013

Keys and Strings 2013

This season, we decided to come up with a simple celebration of young talent. In light of recent tragedies in Tacloban, Leyte, we decided to forego the usual high-impact productions that Animaguitara is known for. This day marks a time of recovery, rebuilding, and prayer. Animaguitara features the guitar students of Jonathan Gonzales and the piano students of Jane Banta with Keys and Strings 2013.

The genesis of Keys and Strings began in 2008 at the Podium. This year marks a return as we generate more challenging platforms for our young guitar heroes.

Summer Recital@Bonifacio Global City

Standard

The 2013 edition of Sounds of Freedom marks Animaguitara’s tenth year in the music industry. We say cheers to ten years of pedagogically sound enrichment programs and productive recreation. We affirm our commitment to the public trust we have been nurturing for a decade. While we have always insisted on quality guitar programs, we have since expanded to other music endeavors — for we choose to remain responsive to the wants and needs of people from all walks of life. We uphold the highest professional standards in music instruction, yet we seek relevance in a contemporary world. We know your pulse.

Last June 2, 2013, we celebrated Sounds of Freedom with the support of JB Music Philippines.

Sounds of Freedom is part of two major shows annually produced by Animaguitara. These shows feature the students, allied artists, and performer-educator Jonathan Gonzales. It is only one of the several platforms provided by Animaguitara, to allow our students to interact not only with their peers but with professional musicians as well. Incidentally, it is also our way of celebrating Independence Month as we extend our gratitude to parents, students, fellow artists, JB Music Philippines, and the public — for supporting independent artists. We brought Sounds of Freedom III to Bonifacio Global City and it was indeed a remarkable experience for all of us.
