Classical Guitar
About
I am an expressive, passionate, and dedicated classical guitarist who has recently moved back to California after completing my Master of Music degree in Guitar Performance at the University of Minnesota. I love to share my art in unique and intimate environments with audiences of all shapes and sizes. I engage my audiences with diverse and charismatic programs that utilize a wide variety of repertoire from renaissance to contemporary composers.
As a soloist, I have performed in a plethora of low and high stress situations. I have competed both nationally and internationally including the Schubert Club’s Bruce P Carlson Scholarship Competition and at the Guitar Art festival in Belgrade, Serbia. I have performed in masterclasses with elite classical guitarists such as Scott Tennant, Martha Masters, Rene Izquirdo, and Manuel Espinás. I am also an active performer in my community performing for local benefits, ribbon cuttings, celebrations, festivals, and alumni concerts.
Music
My repertoire consists of pieces composed and arranged for the 7-string classical guitar from renaissance to contemporary composers.
These composers include:
John Dowland (Renaissance)
Sylvius Leopold Weiss (Baroque)
Mauro Giuliani (Classical)
Napoleon Coste (Early Romantic)
Johann Kaspar Mertz (Early Romantic)
Jorge Morel (Tonal 20th Century)
Roland Dyens (Tonal 20th Century)
Heitor Villa-lobos (Tonal 20th Century)
Richard Rodney Bennett (Post Tonal)
