Paper Moon Event Hall welcomed Keith Rodríguez for our July Concert.
Classical guitarist Keith Rodriguez received his Bachelor’s degree in Music from UCSD and his MBA in guitar performance from San Diego State University, both under the instruction of Celín Romero. During this time, he had the privilege of receiving several lessons from the Romero quartet´s founder, Celedonio Romero. He continued to perfect his craft by doing post-graduate studies at the Conservatorio Superior Real de Madrid under the instruction of José Luis Rodrigo.
In 1996, he was awarded a scholarship to attend the renowned masterclasses “Música en Compostela”, focusing on Spanish guitar music and technique. He has attended masterclasses under the instruction of Pepe Romero, David Russel, Piero Bonaguri and Gabriel Estarellas amongst others. He has performed as soloist with recitals in México, USA, Spain and Portugal. The Spanish periodical El Mundo has said after one of his performances “perfect intonation, impeccable interpretation and a diverse program were a delight for all those who attended a glimpse of what was sure to be a brilliant career”. He has performed extensively both as a soloist as well as forming part of various chamber music ensembles, combining guitar with cello, violin, and voice etc.
Originally from San Diego, he moved to Madrid in 1995 to pursue his musical studies, where he has been living since with his wife and four children.
It was great having you, Keith!
