Guitar sensation Raphaël Feuillâtre is rapidly becoming the new voice of classical guitar. Since winning the prestigious Guitar Foundation of America competition in 2018, this Djibouti-born French virtuoso has dazzled audiences from Carnegie Hall to Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, and through his prolific recording career on Deutsche Grammophon. His most recent album, Spanish Serenades, showcases the many Latin faces of the guitar, and forms the core of his Caramoor program combining popular rhythms, choreographic bounce and sophisticated counterpoint.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant sounds of Brazil as we bring to life the musical genius of GRAMMY-award winning Brazilian guitarist, composer, and arranger Sergio Assad (b. 1953). Renowned for his captivating duo performances with his brother Odair Assad and frequent collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma and other luminaries, Assad stands as one of today’s most prolific composers for the guitar. The program presents Assad’s music alongside that of his Brazilian forebears, Antonio Carlos Gomes and Heitor Villa-Lobos, as well as his European influences, Chopin and Maurice Ravel. Bay Area guitarist—and friend of Assad’s—Marc Teicholz makes his Festival debut for this Brazilian panorama.
