Terry Muska is a native of San Antonio, who recalls visiting the missions as far back as his early childhood. As an adult, Muska has been invited to perform at each of the five missions. Having studied with Manuel Lopez-Ramos and Pepe Romero, Muska is now one of the most in-demand classical artists in Texas. He has appeared as a soloist on two CDs, and in the Musette duo with flutist Madalyn Blanchett on two more - all on the Iago label. On this recording, Muska plays a 1998 Blackshear guitar.
Michael Fink, musical composer-arranger-historian, has led a varied career spanning Hollywood recording studios, concert halls, and college classrooms. The author of more than 25 musical publications and two books, Fink now expresses his musical thoughts through his digital studio,VirtualHarmony. He feels that combining varied synthesized sounds with the consistent warmth of an acoustic instrument (like the classical guitar) affords a unique listening experience.
