The Baltimore Classical Guitar Society presents Philippe Villa

Tickets are $15/$10 students & seniors

Philippe VILLA is considered one of the most brilliant French guitarists of his generation. He is a specialist of the Romantic repertory and plays Romantic or modern instruments.

He builds on new experiences such as combining the guitar with traditional instruments, improvisations, or Chamber Music.

He has appeared as a guest in various international festivals (Vienna, Milan, Esztergom, Voronezh, Istanbul, Bangkok, Bienne, Debrecen, Bratislava), and his recordings and concerts are recognized by critics as being "an original talent," "a musical jubilation," and "of a rare elegance."

In 2004, he played on Paganini and Berlioz guitar - at the "La Villette Museum" in Paris. He is the first guitarist to record Napoléon Coste "Lacôte Guitar" and Berlioz "Grobert" guitar.

Well appreciated as teacher, he has been invited in prestigious academies: "Chopin" in Warsaw, Voronezh, the Vienna Forum.

He served as member of the jury for international competitions (Parma, Vienna, Rust, etc&) and founded the International Guitar Festival of the Island of Ré in 1998. In 2004 he also founded the "Périgord International Summer Festival" and in 2007 "the first international guitar meeting of Saint-Michel en LHerm."

He won the Paganini-Taranto-Pujol-Milan international competitions, and obtained the "Yehudi Menuhin" Foundation Award.

He was a pupil of Betho Davezac, and subsequently of Jiri Jirmal at the Musikhochschule of Sarrebruck, from which he obtained a "Konzert Diplom" with honors.

He studied with Betho Davezac, and Jiri Jirmal at the Musikhochschule of Sarrebruck where he obtained the "Concert Diplom" with high distinction. Philippe Villa plays exclusively on Savarez "Corum and New Cristal" Strings.
