Julia Florida

I chose to perform Agustín Barrio’s Julia Florida. The piece has classic harmonics and traverses through different keys seamlessly. I learned that Barrios was suffering from health and financial issues when he wrote Julia Florida. This piece speaks to me because even though Barrios wrote it during an extremely difficult period in his life, it has become one of the most iconic and beautiful pieces in modern classical guitar repertoire.

To me, creativity is ultimately about self-expression. Creativity, as it relates to music performance, is about interpreting the piece and putting it into the world as a unique version that reflects the performer's point of view.
