October 4th. 2026 – Bernado Soler Bernardo is an award winning classical guitarist. He wanted to learn how to play guitar after hearing classical guitarist Julian Bream play on classical radio. He continued to listen to classical guitarists to develop his skills. In 1989, he graduated with a Bachelor of Music majoring in Classical guitar from the University of Santo Tomas Conservatory of Music in Manila. In 1992 he studied at the Melba Conservatorium of Music in Melbourne. Bernardo is part of a local band in Melbourne, called Solead Q. The band combines elements of traditional Spanish guitar music with Latin rhythms. As a solo guitarist, he has performed all over the Philippines, Indonesia, South America, United States of America, and Australia. Bernardo was our Guest Artist in November 2022 and we are delighted to have him back at PFC. |
