John Zaradin

    The performance and recording credits of John Zaradin include the ATV series "The Strauss Family" with the London Symphony Orchestra, the West End stage production of "Man of La Mancha", musicals "Hair" and "Fiddler on the Roof" and Peter Brook's Royal Shakespeare Company production of "Midsummer Night's Dream".

    After the release of a second EMI album - "Zaradin's Guitar" - his interest focused on the music of the Latin Americas and after touring with several different Brazilian companies he created his own group "Images of Brasil", which toured and made both television and radio performances.

    The scores "Caribbean Fantasy" for the Temba Theatre Company's production of "Romeo & Juliet" and the BBC TV production of Jonathon Porritt's "Where Are We Going" form part of his catalogue of compositions. He premiered, as composer and performer, "Azraq Suite" for Guitar, Orchestra & Latin Percussion in Virginia.

    This was recorded by the composer with the Orchestra of the Birmingham Royal Ballet and is a 6 movement suite of dynamic rhythms, colors and moods of the Latin Americas, ideally suited for both music festival and concert hall. The Suite is also arranged for 2 guitars and is recorded by the Lehtinen-Hilden Guitar Duo. Today his schedule is shared between working in his studio as an arranger and composer and touring.
