About

"So do you write your own music?"
- I’m a classical musician. I interpret music from a composer.

A very common question after I introduce myself as a classical guitarist.
It is widely accepted that an actor doesn’t interpret his own writing… So why is it not for a classical guitarist?

"What's in the job description?"
- Getting people curious about what classical guitar music is all about.

"How do you do that?"
- I believe not necessarily the music needs to be changed, but perhaps a twenty first century approach could help to broaden the audiences of classical music.

Program notes with meaningless lists of composers, pieces, teachers, prices & competitions, performers in a black & white outfit; having doubts when to clap; ...
Time for an update? I believe so! Only one thing remains: quality music
