Carlota Ingrid García

Carlota Ingrid García cannot remember ​a time in ​her life without music​; ​b​orn in Madrid in 1983​, she began her musical adventure ​at the age of six. ​Her passion for the flute ​​eventually took her to the Conservatorio Superior de Salamanca, Folkwang Hochschule Essen and finally the Royal College of Music in London​,​ where she was tutored by​​ ​the flute soloist of the London Symphony Orchestra​,​ Jaime Martín​,​ and​ by Stewart MacIlwham, the p​​i​​ccolo soloist of the London Philharmonic.
After ​completing her flute and piccolo studies with highest honours​, she worked from 2007 until 2013 ​​as ​the ​flute co-soloist and piccolo soloist in various symphonic orchestras among which the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra​.
Her insatiable passion for music led her to delve into early music​practice, and ​she studied a​ master​'s degree​ ​in the ​traverso and​classical ​flute​s​ at the Consertvatoire royal de Bruxelles under Jan de Winne, ​​​founding ​member of the ensemble "Il Gardellino".
Since finishing this degree with great distinction ​she has remained in Brussels where she focuses on early music and chamber music. ​In 2017, she won the "York Early Music International Young Artists' Competition"​ ​with her ensemble, BarrocoTout​. ​As well as continuing to work with the group, ​she​ plays with orchestras and chamber music groups like L’Arpegiatta, Il Gardellino, BachPlus, Les Agrements, Apotheosis, Sileti Venti, Lauda Música and the Hildebrandt Consort, amongst others.
​In 2019 BarrocoTout published its first LP, La Sonate Égarée (Linn Records - Outhere)​. The record received excellent reviews and was chosen as ​the ​"Editor's Choice" in Gramophone ​Magazine. Carlota has also recorded for Glossa with Filippo Mineccia and The New Baroque Times ensemble.
Since 2018​, Carlota​ has been teaching ​the ​traverso ​and historical interpretation​ ​at the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles during seminars aimed at modern flutists.
