Fernando García (composer)

Fernando García (born in Santiago, Chile on July 4, 1930) is a Chilean composer. Active since 1956 he has done orchestral music, chamber music, etc. He studied with Juan Orrego-Salas and Gustavo Becerra-Schmidt, among others. His style is influenced by serialism and aleatoric procedures.

After the Chilean coup-d'état, he was forced into exile, first in Perú (1973-1979), and then in Cuba (1979-1990). He also played a role in the beginnings of electroacoustic music in Chile, after a trip he made to France in the early 1950s where he heard musique concrete.[1]

In 2002 he received the National Prize for Musical Arts.[2]
