Now a fully-fledged soloist, his new show "Harmonious" is purely unforgettable.

Effortlessly crisscrossing between the genres of Classical, Jazz, Blues, Pop, World and Flamenco, Antonio plays an eclectic repertoire of his own unique arrangements of melodies from film themes to folk melodies, Bach to Bacharach, as well as his own original compositions.

As each song is accompanied by its own story, the maestro invites you into his life for one unforgettable night in a personal and intimate setting.

With the ease of a true musical genius, Antonio simultaneously accompanies himself on the piano and looping pedals, exploring an eclectic repertoire of his own unique arrangements of melodies from film themes to folk songs, Bach to Bacharach, as well as his own original compositions. As each song is preluded by its own story the maestro invites you into his life for one unforgettable night in a personal and intimate setting.

Antonio Serrano was born in Madrid in 1974. His father started teaching him the harmonica (his main instrument) by the age of 7, and later he went on to study with the great Larry Adler. Antonio soon developed an amazing technique on the chromatic harmonica that has allowed him to play in many different contexts, dominating all styles of music, from classical music to jazz, blues, tango and flamenco.

Antonio first received international attention at the age of 13 when he performed in Paris as a duo with Larry Addler (watch video). This concert marked the beginning of a long-standing relationship between the two harmonica players, one which would greatly enhance Antonio s already promising professional career. Larry Adler became Antonio s mentor and they performed together on many occasions. In 1992 when Antonio was just 18 he performed the Malcolm Arnold Harmonica Concerto which was written specifically for the great master, Larry Addler.

As a young adult, having previously focused predominantly on classical music, Antonio went on to study many other genres of music, spending a number of years performing with blues, jazz and pop artists until be became known in his home country as one of the most important improvisers of his generation, recording on hundreds of records of all styles of music.

After becoming known as an instrumentalist of virtuosic abilities, it was inevitable that one day, he would receive the call from Spain s most important instrumentalist of all time, the flamenco guitarist Paco de Luc a.

Antonio eventually became famous for introducing the harmonica in flamenco music, an almost impenetrable genre for musicians outside the flamenco culture. He continues to tour the world with this living legend, whilst also pursuing his solo career and performing as a guest artist with other musicians. Over the years, Antonio has played and/or recorded with Larry Adler, Toots Thielemans , Wynton Marsalis, Jerry Gonzalez, Chano Dominguez, Lou Bennett, Jorge Pardo, Vicente Amigo, Tomatito, Armando Manzanero, Luis Salinas, Javier Colina and many many more...

During his career, Antonio has played with the symphonic orchestras of Venezuela (Sim n Bolivar), Belgium, Cologne, Heidelberg, Kiel and Turkish Radio amongst others, playing original Concertos for harmonica by H. Villalobos, Malcolm Arnold, and arrangements of Enescu, Gershwin, Piazzolla and many more.

As a session musician, Antonio Serrano has recorded with most of the major pop and rock artists in Spain and as well as on the soundtracks to numerous films by the renowned Spanish film maker Pedro Almodovar.

Antonio Serrano has released 7 albums, his most recent is "Harmonious" released in February 2013.

"From George and Ira Gershwin's 'I Got Rhythm' to the deep blues of Sonny Boy Williamson's 'Eyesight To The Blind', via hymns and even a version of 'Danny Boy', this was an adventurous show that ranged far and wide - all delivered with a jaw-dropping dexterity on an instrument that's often derided as limited. In the hands of a master like Serrano, that's very evidently not the case." Songlines.

"From start to finish, Serrano grabbed listeners with an extraordinary capacity to transcend his instrument and point directly to the soul with a sound molded by sensitivity and a breath full of inspiration." Lo Otro.

"In his show there is humor and tenderness, self-confidence and spontaneity, its obvious that the artist is a jazz musician. His fan club, filling the room, applauded wildly. He ends with the star number of the evening, firing up with "Georgia On My Mind", which merges into "What a Wonderful World", the Louis Armstrong song, and there is more than one person who sheds a tear." Chema Garcia Martinez, Jazz y Otras Hierbas
