Jorge Caballero
Jorge Caballero, Peruvian born
guitarist and
composer has
accrued wide
recognition as
one of the
most important
guitarists in
history, being
the recipient
of several
international
awards, and
performing in
recitals,
chamber music
and as a
soloist around
the world.
Critics
from
international
newspapers and
guitar
publications
have praised
Mr.
Caballero’s
depth of
musicality, as
well as his
technical
mastery when
tackling the
unique
difficulties
of his concert
repertoire.
Aside from the
standard
guitar
literature he
performs
–which spans
centuries of
music from the
Renaissance
until the
present, Mr.
Caballero is
notorious for
adapting and
performing
masterworks
originally
written for
piano or
orchestra,
among which we
find
Mussorgsky’s
Pictures at an
Exhibition,
Dvorak’s New
World
Symphony,
Debussy’s
Children’s
Corner Suite
and Alban
Berg’s Piano
Sonata Op. 1
to name a few.
One critic in
Italy referred
to Mr.
Caballero as
“standing on
top of the
repertoire’s
Mount
Everest,”
while the New
York Times
called him “a
masterly
guitarist”
with
“chameleonic
timbres.”
Since
his first solo
recital at age
thirteen, Mr.
Caballero has
given numerous
concerts
throughout the
world,
including
performances
at Lincoln
Center,
Carnegie Hall
and the
Library of
Congress, and
as a soloist
with the Los
Angeles
Philharmonic,
Orchestra of
St. Luke’s,
New York’s
Chamber
Ensemble and
Turkey’s
Presidential
Symphony. He
has also
collaborated
with the
Mendelssohn
and the Miró
String
Quartets, with
Soprano
Theresa
Santiago and
flautists
Stefán Ragnar
Höskuldsson
and Carol
Wincenc.
In
1996, at the
age of 19, he
earned First
Prize at the
Walter W.
Naumburg
International
Competition in
New York City,
a unique award
for musicians
often compared
to the
Pulitzer
Prize. To this
day, he is the
youngest
musician and
only guitarist
to have ever
received this
award.
As
of 2021, Mr.
Caballero has
been appointed
to the Guitar
Faculty at the
University of
Toronto in
Canada. He is
also part-time
faculty at
Kean State
University in
the United
States, and
Honorary
Professor at
the National
University of
Music in Lima,
Peru.
"a
masterful
guitarist...deft,
powerful
technique." -
The New York
Times
For this
concert, Jorge
Caballero will
play Partita,
BWV 1013, by
Johann S.
Bach; Sonata
in B minor, S.
178, by Franz

Mussorgsky.
