Programme note
Santiago Bernal Montaña is a cellist, composer, producer and songwriter. He was born in Bogotá, Colombia but raised in Africa and Asia and is currently living in the US. He lists a wide field of inspirations from across many musical genres and sites numerous cultures and languages as his starting points as he aims to ‘speak through music’. He says ‘music is and always will be the heart, mind, body and soul of the living entity’. Dilo otra vez is a gorgeous and gentle ‘pasillo’ – a kind of traditional Colombian waltz. It was the spontaneous creation of a 16-year-old Santiago who was exploring new harmonies on the piano and the cuatro, an instrument similar to the ukulele. It is a love song that reminds us of what it is to love romantically for the first time. Everything in this song is fluid; it's a surprise; it's naively exciting. And the longing for it to be repeated gives the song its title, which translates to ‘say it again’!

Julián Gil Rodríguez
A violinist from Bogotá, Colombia, Julián Gil Rodríguez has held positions in the Orquesta Sinfónica de Colombia, Orquesta Sinfónica de Galicia, Spain, and since 2013 is a proud member of the LSO, with whom he has had the pleasure of travelling the world making music. Julián tremendously enjoys the popular music scene which has led him to perform in London venues such as Ronnie Scott’s and Jazz Café. In his free time he can be found on his bike trying to keep up with his friends.

Francisco Correa
Praised by Gramophone for his 'eloquence' and by Soundboard Magazine for his 'beautiful and expressive interpretation', the Colombian guitarist Francisco Correa has captivated the public with his virtuosic and nuanced interpretations. He has appeared on stages in more than 20 countries, performing with prestigious orchestras and appearing on prominent radio programmes and television, such as BBC Radio 3’s In Tune, and Radio France. He is an active chamber musician, especially with the Correa-Andrews duo and the CarmenCo ensemble.
