Naxos recording artist and Savarez-endorsed French virtuoso Thomas Viloteau is a protégé of the famed Roland Dyens and Judicael Perroy at Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, maestro Alberto Ponce at Paris’ Ecole Normale, and Maité Rubio at Barcelona’s Escuela de Música Juan Pedro Carrero.  Thomas last visited us as the 2006 Guitar Foundation of America champion.  He returns to us as the first guitarist selected by the San Francisco Conservatory of Music to play at the Kennedy Center as part of their Conservatory Project.  Thomas brings with him a diverse and cleverly assembled program of virtuosic solos.
As always, you are cordially invited!

Notice: I very sincerely regret that I have to inform you that the Guitar Foundation of America (GFA) has not yet been successful in securing an artist’s visa for their current champion, Mr. Gabriel Bianco, to be able to tour in the US.  Reluctantly, we have been forced to cancel Mr. Bianco’s Columbus performance on 7 November.  However, take heart!  One of my favorite recent GFA winners, Mr. Thomas Viloteau, has agreed to perform here in Columbus on that date for us.  Tickets already sold for Mr. Bianco’s performance will be honored at Mr. Viloteau’s recital, 7 November 2009, or refunded on site at the holder’s discretion.
