Post Description

In addition to his remarkable concert career, American David Tanenbaum has become one of the most tireless promoters and supporters of the classical guitar and its repertoire. As a performer, teacher, and editor, he continues to contribute to the status of his instrument. Though Tanenbaum is known for his interpretation of Baroque composers and indeed a wide variety of guitar literature, he is best-known for relentless promulgation of new music for the classical guitar, particularly by American composers.
