An intimate and personal performance that took place in the middle of the Corona pandemic, so it is even more meaningful to share this video with you here…Staged during the Fall of 2020, this performance is very meaningful to me on so many levels. It starts out with me paraphrasing and humming Bach´s famous choral melody “Wie soll ich Dich empfangen?”, included in Cantata 5 of his Weihnachtsoratorium, a melody of hope, grief, resurrection and expectation all at once.
Oslo Guitar Days is a meeting point for all classical guitarist.
Four days filled with lectures, meeting points, concerts and a big national competition at The Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo - welcome all!
Follow the events.
Wow. I am speechless at the way the stars align sometimes. During a recent visit to Paris, I got to sample a menu of excellent instrument, among them this exquisite Hermann Hauser from 1960. Needless to say that ever since this wonderful recording (a collaboration with GSI and Scott Tennant) his and his fathers instruments have long occupied a soft spot in my heart.
The sound created by the spruce tops made by the Bavarian masters between 1936 and 1980 is ideal, in my ears. Powerful, clear, sustained and with an unmatched noblesse that suits baroque music, contemporary works and most everything I enjoy performing these days.
This fall, a collector loaned me his instrument, to use freely for an open-ended period. I am so incrediby honored, and thankful to him for granting me this opportunity!! I look forward to reporting more on the projects that emerge from this generous loan.

I am particularly thrilled to be a part of such a great team of internationally acclaimed performers and pedagogues.
