Quotes & Press

Tony is a fantastic guitarist! He music was the perfect addition to our opening of Posada at the Clark Art Museum. Highly recommend.

We have hired Tony Silva to play at many events we've hosted over the past 18 years. I love the way he blends musical styles originating from his Chilean ancestry with other South American genres and Spanish Flamenco. He is so sensitive to his audience that each time he plays it feels intimate and personal. He is constantly evolving and developing his music. I wholeheartedly recommend Tony Silva to anyone looking for live music for their event. Tony will make it very special and memorable.

Tony played a fantastic set for our community. He was engaging and a true professional. He talked about the history of the music and played spectacularly! Everyone really enjoyed his music.

Absolutely fabulous. I grew up in Spain and was looking for a classical guitarist to bring the energy of the beautiful Gitano music from my childhood. Tony made us feel as if we were sitting in the heart of Barcelona. What a great talent, coupled with a kind personality to make him so enjoyable with whom to work! Tony and his wife, as a modern dancer, bring beautiful energy to your event.

“Tony Silva played for our wedding reception, held in our back yard on a fine September evening. His playing not only provided a great ambience for our gathering, but at times his virtuosity came to the forefront, and it was great to catch glimpses of people watching and listening as if at a concert (and, for his last song, dancing). Throughout the night, people took us aside to tell us what a find he was. Add to this that he was an absolute professional to work with, and we heartily recommend him for any such gathering. His music was a true acompañamiento to our amazing evening.”
