Paramount Presents: Pablo Sa´inz Villegas
“…virtuosic playing … irresistible exuberance” –The New York Times
Praised as “the soul of the Spanish guitar,” Pablo Sa´inz Villegas has become a worldwide sensation known as this generation’s great guitarist. With his “virtuosic playing characterized by irresistible exuberance” as described by The New York Times, his interpretations conjure the passion, playfulness, and drama of Rioja, his homeland’s rich musical heritage. He is known for his passionate, emotive and open-hearted playing, whether he is performing at intimate recital halls, or playing with beloved tenor, Pla´cido Domingo, to an audience of over 85,000 at Santiago Bernabe´u Stadium in Madrid, where maestro Domingo hailed him as “the master of the guitar”.
Sa´inz Villegas wrapped up a thriving season, performing on a floating stage on the Amazon River with Pla´cido Domingo, which was live streamed worldwide to millions. Additionally, he gave the world premiere of Rounds, the first composition for guitar by five-time Academy Award-winner John Williams, and accomplished a summer tour through Japan with the National Orchestra of Spain. The 2017-18 season will see Sa´inz Villegas making various debuts, including at the prestigious National Performing Arts Center in Beijing, Chicago’s Grant Park Music Festival Orchestra at the Millennium Park in Chicago, the New Zealand Symphony, the Norwegian Radio Orchestra in Oslo, New York’s iconic 92nd Street Y and Orquesta de Mineri´a in Mexico City, to name a few.
