Jonathan Parkin - I remember you - Juan Erena

"This music was born from the pain of losing a loved one. The emptiness, the irreplaceable absence and the uncontrolled crying gives free rein to the expressive lines of the guitar, and in doing so avoids any affectations and champions simplicity in favor of musical clarity.
Jonathan is one of the current guitarists who best relates the pain, the beauty and the deep fingerprint of interpretive feeling when it becomes necessary. 'I remember you' also explores the expressive possibilities of this great musician to whom I dedicate this work. A work that in the hands of Parkin rises to true art." - Juan Erena Mármol
Hailing from Teesside in North East England, Jonathan Ross Parkin has established himself as a sensitive and versatile musician of the highest quality.
Jonathan’s musical journey began at 11 when, after an uninspiring saxophone lesson he tagged along to a friends guitar class. From then on, a love for music was born and Jonathan spent his teenage years playing in rock bands in the pubs and clubs of North East England.
He has been a prize winner and finalist at some of the most prestigious international guitar competitions including Certamen Llobet, London International Guitar Competition, Concurso International Raimundo and the Ivor Mariants Award.
Currently based in Valencia, Jonathan is a professor at both the Escuela Superior de Música Alto Rendimiento (ESMAR) and at the Conservatorio Professional Ignacio Monzonís. He combines his teaching activity with solo and chamber recitals throughout Europe with his role as Guitar Coordinator at the Institute of Musical Development (IDM) for festivals such as Semana Tárrega and Festival Fortea.
The author of this music is Juan Erena Mármol, guitar teacher, composer and arranger.
As a composer, he has worked for the theatre company "Laví e bel" in the musical show Cabaret Caracol, winner of the Palma Del Río Prize in 2001, which was a great success with the public and critics, or the company Break a Leg Producciones in their play "Backstage", directed by José Luis Saiz; or as a musical advisor and coach for the actor Alfonso Begara in the film "Camarón" by Jaime Chavarri (2005). He also collaborates in the soundtrack of the film "Entre Nosotros" by Dario Stegmayer (2006)
He has composed a great number of works for guitar, distributed in publishing houses such as Bergmann Edition, Mundoplectro, Pilesmusic and Jesús Serrano Huitron.
