Scott Kritzer, Classical Guitar
Mr. Kritzer’s consummate commitment to technical excellence as the solid structure beneath an unparalleled sense of musicality has brought him decades of accolades from audiences and critics alike, in concert halls in San Francisco, Frankfurt, Vancouver, B.C., Los Angeles, Sapporo, Japan, Washington, D.C., Munich, and New York. He has been featured in Japan’s Guitar Magazine, London’s Classical Guitar and Guitar International as well as in America’s Soundboard and Guitar Player magazines. He has debuted to critical acclaim in London’s Wigmore Hall and New York’s Carnegie Recital Hall. In 1996 he was chosen by then Senator Mark O. Hatfield to represent the State of Oregon in a performance at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. He has performed on series that have included Itzhak Perlman, Ivo Pogorelic, Cecelia Bartoli and the Emerson and KRONOS String Quartets.
In addition to his performing career, Mr. Kritzer is a highly sought after instructor of the classical guitar. His popular method is taught to both local students through private and informal workshops as well as to students from all parts of the United States, China, England, Norway, Dubai, and Ireland through an innovative internet format. His annual retreat, Classical Guitar Immersion, held in late June in Portland, Oregon draws classical guitar aficionados worldwide. This year’s event runs from June 17-24th and, like years passed, is sold-out.
