Elizandro Garcia-Montoya, Clarinetist

Welcome.

Elizandro Garcia-Montoya is a Chicago-based clarinetist, teacher, and repair technician.

"Garcia-Montoya was hailed as “a wonderful player, possessing a fleet and nimble technique and a full, rich tone".

Chicago Classical Review (November 25, 2013)
"Saturday’s edge-of-the-seat performance was intense without being brittle, and of the many soloists featured, principal clarinetist Elizandro Garcia-Montoya must be singled out for his spritely introduction to the variations on 'The Gift to Be Simple.'

Guy Vollen, Wichita Eagle Correspondent (October 26, 2014)
"The clarinetist was clearly in sync with Brahm's reflective introspection, bringing out the songful melancholy of the second movement sensitively, with artful dynamic marking.”

Chicago Classical Review (November 25, 2013)
"Outstanding woodwind playing, his solos had subtle splendor and precision."
