Renaud Garcia-Fons is one of France’s leading specialists when it comes to his chosen instrument and he makes the most of its expressive potential – especially melodically – thanks to virtuoso use of his bow. Influenced by his teacher and mentor Francois Rabbath, after studying at a conservatory he started playing jazz and then began to embrace world music from Andalusia, Latin America, India and Arab countries, while continuing to show his Mediterranean roots and harnessing his classical background.
