Garazi Navas
(Usansolo, 1995) is a restless accordionist and recent Musikene graduate who, despite her young age, has taken part in a multitude of projects (even playing with the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra) and received many awards. In this project, Garazi Navas combines various works by contemporary composers with traditional pieces of diverse origins to provide a personal interpretation of the close relationship which she feels exists between cutting-edge and traditional music. The project also showcases both facets of the accordion, which are rarely seen at the same time.
She participated as an accordionist in the audiovisual installation “Partitura” by the Cuban artist Carlos Garaicoa at the Azkuna Zentroa in Bilbao and has played as a soloist with the Musikene symphony orchestra at the Kursaal in Donostia. She regularly collaborates with artists from different disciplines on projects with dance, poetry, theater or artistic installations, both alone and with various groups.
In her current solo project, she presents compositions created together with Miguel A. García.
