SUMMARY:New England Guitar Ensembles Festival Featuring Pavel Steidl
DESCRIPTION:Two full days of workshops\, classes\, and concerts focus on the guitar as an ensemble instrument. This year\, we are particularly excited to announce the premiere of a new commission by one of the most significant composers today: Pavel Steidl. \n \nPavel Steidl was born in Rakovnik (Czech Republic). Since he won first prize at the Radio France International Competition in Paris in 1982 he has become one of the most widely celebrated soloists of his generation. Before that he studied with such guitarists as Milan Zelenka and Stephan Rak in Prague. In 1987 he decided to emigrate to the Netherlands where after years of studying and getting inspiration from many different artists he has created his own style\, which incorporates authentic ways of interpreting 19th-century guitar literature on period instruments and going far to some world music elements. Pavel Steidl also composes himself and his own compositions are often played on his concerts. \nHe has played in more than 40 countries of the world from among Canada\, USA\, China\, India\, Japan\, Europe\, South and Central America and many others. Italian Guitar Magazine Guitart readers voted him as guitar player of the year 2004. Pavel Steidl plays many instruments\, but mainly Francisco Simplico (1926) and Franz Butcher (2008)\, romantic guitar: copies of JG Stauffer guitar made by B. Kresse and original instrument from the beginning of the 19th century Nikolaus G. Ries cca. 1830. \nIf you are interested in bringing your ensemble (any level) to the festival\, please contact us. \nFor more information\, please visit the festival page.

SUMMARY:Kazuhito Yamashita
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Today! \nLegendary Japanese guitarist Kazuhito Yamashita is one of the most acclaimed and daring artistic visionaries of our time. His international career began after victories in three of the most important guitar competitions\, and he has since recorded almost 80 albums. His stunningly original arrangements\, including Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition  and Dvorak’s Symphony from the New World  have revolutionized what is possible on solo guitar. \nIn 1989\, the Casals Hall in Tokyo\, considered to be one of the finest auditoriums in the world\, presented a series called The World of Kazuhito Yamashita\, comprising seven concerts in 12 months. The high point of the concerts was Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s 24 Caprichos de Goya in a single performance. The series concluded with Bach’s six sonatas and partitas over two consecutive nights; a recital series was continued in 1994 and 1999. \nFollowing his 1987 Boston Symphony Hall debut recital with iconic flutist Sir James Galway\, the Boston Globe wrote: “Yamashita is a phenomenally gifted artist\, who\, one imagines\, could turn the most mundane exercise into a fascinating musical excursion.”
