David Grimes
Master Class Friday, May 4th 2007 at 2:00 PM
Concert Saturday, May 5th 2007 at 8:00 PM
Inspired initially by a recording of Andrés Segovia, David Grimes studied guitar with Guy Horn and Oscar Ghiglia.
His subsequent career as a soloist has won enthusiastic acclaim for his performances throughout North America and Europe. Recent concert tours have taken him to Mexico, Greece, Bulgaria, Spain, Denmark, France, Malta, Belarus, Serbia, Montenegro and Austria.
David’s interest in the guitar’s predecessors has led to his editions of “Luys Milán: the Complete Fantasías” and the celebrated series, “Treasures of the Baroque,” published by Mel
Bay Publications.
At the other end of the spectrum, he encourages and works actively with contemporary composers to create new guitar works. Many composers have been inspired to write pieces for guitar after hearing a David Grimes performance. His own compositions are now being performed by prominent guitarists throughout the world.
Highly respected as a teacher and coach, David is presently Director of Guitar Studies at California State University, Fullerton, where he has developed one of the nation’s leading
centers of guitar instruction. He is past President of the Guitar Foundation of America and remains as Reviews Editor for the journal Soundboard.
