David Mendoza was born to make music. When he picks up the violin and begins to play for you, a great yearning rises within you suspending time and
expanding space around you.

David music opens a portal to other worlds, where passion, empowerment, communion, freedom and, ultimately, peace converge.

Growing up in a family of musicians, David extraordinary musical gifts were recognized and natured. With singer parents, listening all their opera practicing, and all the classic composers sounding around during his childhood, he became in a natural and very melodic composer, and interpreter in a young age. In his own words, – The pure sound of a violin occurs when we imitate the human voice.

By age five he started playing piano, finding the composition intuitively, by seven he found the violin, finding his soul instrument, by age of thirteen he decided to become in a drummer, trying with classic rock groove drums like John Bonham and more, becoming gradually in a jazz drummer. Now, he moves comfortably between several instruments and genres including Rock, Jazz, Tango, Classical, Hungarian, Brazilian, New Age, Italian, French and more!

David Dream for his future cannot be separated from the cosmic images his compositions continually reveal to him. Earth, air, fire, and water are part of an infinite universe that finds its way into his music. Michael Hoppe, a prominent Grammy nominated musician, praised David as: “Wonderfully expressive violin playing is … quite simply one of the most beautiful sounds one can hear.”

The distinct and varied moods, strong rhythms, and combinations of instrumentation heard throughout David’s music, dark, driving, playful, troubling, fearful, delivering, uplifting, radiant, serene–powerfully influence what is experienced. His live performances, especially, elicit and illuminate one own artistic creation, there is such a profound connection felt, and a desire to respond.

There are gifts of transcendent beauty in everyday life, but there are also uncommon, life- changing moments offered by prophetic artists speaking powerfully to this day and these times.

This Time David Mendoza’s Trio will share their Ennio Morricone & Ludovico Einaudi Tribute, two of the best composers of the last 50 years, who changed the romantic and descriptive music forever and influenced too many other great composers of the new generations, David would be pleased to share this amazing project beside the amazing pianist Carlos Vargas, and the great drummer Israel Chavez.

This will take place on the favorite venue of most of the American Community in San Miguel de Allende at Ancha de San Antonio # 9 in SMA Downtown.

You cannot lose this unique chance from this season In San Miguel de Allende to witness these amazing artists.
