Guitar
Spanish guitarist, Pablo Sáinz Villegas, quickly established himself as one of the world’s
leading classical guitarists by winning the Gold Medal at the first Christopher Parkening
International Guitar Competition in May, 2006. Sáinz Villegas’ prize-winning performance
with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, has led to concerts in more than thirty
countries. These include his four-performance debut with the New York Philharmonic
under renowned conductor, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, and the success of these
performances resulted in two subsequent engagements with the orchestra at Avery
Fisher Hall.
Sáinz Villegas made his debut with the Houston Symphony under conductor, Alondra de
la Parra, with whom he once again collaborated as a soloist for a Sony recording with the
Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas. In June, 2009 he also completed a very
successful twelve-concert-tour with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in Israel under the
baton of Frühbeck de Burgos. Among his other orchestral highlights include appearances
with internationally-acclaimed orchestras in U.K., Spain, Russia, Denmark, France,
Brazil, Turkey, Mexico, Austria and the United States.
Sáinz Villegas' worldwide recitals earned him return engagements in Tchaikovsky
Concert Hall in Moscow and Philharmonic Hall in St. Petersburg, Russia. His upcoming
recital schedule takes him to the continents of Europe, Central America, South America,
North America and Asia.
Born in Spain, but now living in New York City, Sáinz Villegas’ combination of charismatic
stage presence, deep passion for his music and stunning technical abilities, deliver
performances that have consistently brought audiences to their feet. Recently, Sáinz
Villegas won Spain’s prestigious, “El Ojo Critico” Award (the Critics Eye). Only one
award a year is given in the field of classical music and it is the first time the Spanish
award has ever been presented to a guitarist. Prior to winning the Parkening Competition,
Sáinz Villegas was already the recipient of more than thirty international awards,
including the Andrés Segovia Award. In 2012 he debuted Rounds, the first piece for
guitar written by the great American composer John Williams.
Known for his outreach programs, Sáinz Villegas is the founder of “The Music Without
Borders Legacy”, a program that seeks to leverage the inspirational power of classical
music to bridge communities across cultural, social, and political borders for the benefit of
children and youth.
Future and recent engagements include perfomances with the San Francisco Symphony,
Philadelphia Symphony, Boston Symphony, Houston Symphony, Orquesta de Valencia,
Aarhus Symphony, Toronto Symphony and Los Angeles Philharmonic, among others.
