Manuel Barrueco

Manuel Barrueco

 “A major artist with remarkable musicianship and a world of technique... simply and consistently – awesome.”
Los Angeles Times 
 
Barrueco is a mature artist at the height of his power. He is, for me, the most apollonian of players—his technique is absolute, his expression restrained but always moving, always in the finest of taste. There’s a rightness about his interpretations, a sense of the inevitable, that this is the way the music must go. He is consistently satisfying, always delivering musicianly performances, models for what the guitar should sound like.

Meng Su

Meng Su

Winner, Parkening International Guitar Competition

“With such facility as Ms. Su possesses, there should be no limit on what she can achieve...”
NY Classical Review
 
"What makes her playing so special is her control of sound—every note is important, every sound is shaped with love and exquisite taste. It’s not just her tone—it’s also her dynamics, articulation, the transparency or density of the sound, the attention to the functions of multiple voices."
American Record Guide (2017)

Lukasz Kuropaczewski

Lukasz Kuropaczewski

Lukasz Kuropaczewski, “an amiable bear of a soloist” as the Washington Post portrayed him after one of his performances with the Baltimore Symphony, “is definitely the new megastar of the classical guitar.” (El Nuevo Dia, Puerto Rico)
 
Lukasz is in great demand as a recitalist and as soloist with orchestras, and he is invited to perform in numerous venues around the globe each year. Highlights include appearances in London’s Royal Festival Hall, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Warsaw’s National Philharmonic Hall, Caramoor Music Festival, the Santa Fe Music Festival, and New York's Carnegie Hall.
 
Lukasz has been described as “a master technician with artistic maturity well beyond his years” whose performances are “filled with deep emotion and empathy” and whose “supernatural virtuosity and eloquence put the audience in hypnotic delight!” 
 
Lukasz Kuropaczewski will tour in North America in the 2023-2024 season with a solo program, master classes, and artist residencies. Please contact us for program and more information.

Beijing Guitar Duo

Fanfare Magazine
 
"The duo has been received with great acclaim in recent years—they’re fast getting the reputation as among the world’s finest... Their performance is exquisite—consistently joyous yet subtle, technically flawless, beautiful ."
