Bolivar Soloists

In London, 2003, young students of the Royal Academy and Royal College of Music founded an ensemble with the artistic aim of performing Latin American Chamber Music. Bolivar Soloists made their first public appearance in the “Bolivar Hall” of the Embassy of Venezuela in London and have since performed extensively in the U.K. and Germany, including performances for the Centre of Latin American Studies of Cambridge University and the English Chamber Orchestra Young Artist Series.

The repertoire Bolivar Soloists specialize in is full of exotic rhythms and original musical structures that reflect the mixture of race and culture present in Latin America. This repertoire shows what a fantastic source of material can be found in Latin American popular music. This material, re-worked using modern composing techniques, opens the door of a new musical dimension that bonds the European and Latin American traditions in search of a music that reaches the audiences and allows the artists to express themselves in a common language.

Bolivar Soloists are a group of young and talented musicians from different corners of the world who found in this music an authentic and original way of expression. Bolivar Soloists, under the direction of flautist, arranger and composer Efrain Oscher, are emerging as one of the fresher and more innovative chamber groups of today.
