One of the most exciting classical guitarists of his generation, Raphaël Feuillâtre has been praised for "his amazing sensitivity to his music and ability to create varied and beautiful soundscapes with his instrument" (Herald Tribune). The French guitarist's PCMS debut offers an inspiring range of repertoire, spanning from Johann Sebastian Bach to the 20th Century.

This performance will be presented in-person at Benjamin Franklin Hall, and online via pay-what-you-wish livestream at https://www.pcmsconcerts.org/concerts/livestreams/.

About Raphaël Feuillâtre, guitar

Raphaël Feuillâtre made his international breakthrough in 2018 as winner of the prestigious Guitar Foundation of America (GFA) International Concert Artist Competition. He had already been tipped as a rising star in Europe following his victory at the 2017 José Tomás Villa de Petrer International Guitar Competition in Valencia and earlier prize-winning competition performances elsewhere in Spain as well as in France, Portugal and the Czech Republic. His progress around the competition circuit introduced him to many outstanding players and teachers; his José Tomás and GFA prizes, meanwhile, included opportunities for him to record solo recital albums under studio conditions and embark on concert tours of Europe, Brazil, Argentina, the US and Canada. His career was given a further boost when he was honoured by being selected as one of French performing rights association ADAMI's "classical discoveries" of 2021.
