Cristina García Banegas

Cristina García Banegas is a celebrated Uruguayan harpsichordist, organist, and early music specialist known for her passionate dedication to Baroque repertoire and historically informed performances. A cornerstone of Latin America’s early music scene, she co-founded the Camerata de las Américas and has championed the revival of historical instruments, particularly through her work with Uruguay’s historic organs. Her recordings, like *Arauxo: Tientos & Canciones* and her Bach-focused projects (*Jesu, meine Freude*, *Komm, Heiliger Geist*), showcase her knack for blending scholarly precision with expressive warmth. She’s also embraced creative crossover, as seen in playful experiments like *Beatles Love Bach*. Beyond performing, García Banegas is a respected educator, fostering new generations of musicians in Montevideo and beyond.
