About
I am a classical & world music guitarist, a virtuoso musical explorer, an entertainer and performer who understands music and speaking to connect with audiences. I regularly perform classics and standard repertoire by Bach, Schubert, Mertz, Spanish classics, flamenco and Latin American works as well as contemporary works written for me. My latest recording explores the aesthetics of the East & West with a focus on Japan.
I use music, stories, sense of humor and diverse programing to keep listeners at the edge of their seat. I am an international touring artist based in Boston and on faculty at the University of Massachusetts Boston and formerly at the Boston Conservatory.
I have a over 15 years of experience performing house concerts and in salons. I directed a series in Boston for four years and I have always striven to bridge the gaps in communication between people: composers and the guitar and especially classical music and audiences.
My performances blow minds.
