Concert Classical Guitarist
Biography
Fin has extensively performed with a variety of ensembles including a performance of Gustav Mahler’s seventh symphony with the Peabody Symphony Orchestra, performances of Maria Castelnuovo Tedesco’s composition for guitar and string quartet and Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez . He has also regularly performed with the Nocturnal Guitar Duo both in the UK and in Europe.
Ever since performing for the first time publicly at the age of 9, Fin has continued to appear in the concert hall regularly, performing at venues such as the Wigmore Hall, St. Martins-in-the-Fields and the Royal Exchange Theatre to name but a few. His performances have garnered a number of accolades and led to descriptions of him as a “virtuoso… who transfixes an audience with his musicianship”, “a born communicator, whether playing the guitar or speaking” and has often been described as an heir to the great classical guitarists of the past. His performing career has taken him across the world to countries such as the USA, Italy, France, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Portugal amongst others, along with performances on the historic Queen Mary II, Queen Elizabeth and various festivals including the Bowdoin music festival in Maine and the Rye festival in East Sussex.
Another aspect of his career has been his desire to play and champion new works. He was involved in the first recording of a composition written for guitar quartet and symphony orchestra by fellow Peabody alumnus Christopher Gainey performing with the Peabody Symphony Orchestra. He gave the world premiere of two works at the Peabody institute of music in collaboration with the composition department there. He also gave the world premiere of four intermezzi written by distinguished composer and friend, Eric Stewart.
Apart from Concerts and Recitals, Fin is happy to perform for weddings, receptions, corporate events & launches. He is happy to take requests
