Adrian Montero Moya is one of the most internationally acclaimed Costa Rican musicians. A winner of several competitions both nationally and internationally, he is actively recording new albums and promoting new music, especially works by contemporary Costa Rican and Ibero-American composers. He has given recitals in Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba, Mexico, the United States, and France.
His repertoire spans from the Baroque era to the present day, with a particular emphasis on contemporary Latin American music. This allows the audience to explore a wide spectrum of guitar repertoire. His discography includes two records: “Azulado,”featuring music from Costa Rican contemporary composers, and “Sonatas and Partitas”. Additionally, he participated in the recording of “Sueños y Sones” with Marco Corrales, the Latin Grammy-nominated album “Elruido del Agua” with Eddie Mora, and the world-premiere recording of the string quintet “Oché” by the Costa Rican composer Alejandro Cardona, alongside “Cuarteto Latinoamericano”.
His esteemed teachers include guitarists
Nuria Zúñiga, Aldo Rodríguez, Jorge Luis Zamora, and Pablo Ortíz. He has participated in masterclasses with Lukasz Kuropaczewski, Brasil Guitar Duo, Mario Ulloa, Andres Saborío, Andrew Zohn, Andrea Gonzales Caballero, among others. Most recently, he is a Master’s candidate in classical guitar performance at the University of Rhode Island under the direction of American virtuoso, Adam Levin. His goal is to promote the music of Latin America and create opportunities for the younger generations of Costa Rican guitarists. To this end, he is the co-director of “Concurso Nacional de Guitarra” in Costa Rica, continuing the legacy of his predecessors.
Wyatt Green, age 14, started his formal guitar education at age two. His early teachers were his father and Andrea Cannon. At age nine, Wyatt began studying with world-famous guitar performer and teacher Adam Holzman, whom he currently studies with. Wyatt has received prizes in Pre High School and High School categories at the 2023 Marku International Guitar Competition in Albania, 2018 Texas A&M Guitar Symposium, 2022 Southwest Guitar Symposium, 2023 UT Dallas Guitar Festival, 2023 Southwest Guitar Symposium, 2023 Houston Classical Guitar Festival, and the 2023 Summerfest Guitar Festival. Wyatt has also had masterclasses with William Kossler, Gohar Vardanyan, Issac Bustos, Erdong Li, Ivan Petricevic, the Ibison Duo, Kanahi Yamashita, and Leonela Alejandro. In addition to competing in guitar competitions, Wyatt performs for weddings with his mother and is a regular church musician for multiple parishes.
