ÓSCAR HERRERO
Flamenco Guitar
An extensive concert career which began at a young age is testimony to the artistic abilities of Óscar Herrero as a composer and performer. He has received many accolades over the years, including the first prizes awarded at the highest level in the world of flamenco; the Bordón Minero (Festival de La Union) and the National Flamenco Guitar Prize in Jerez de la Frontera, (Cádiz), Spain.
His thorough research into the pedagogy of flamenco guitar has produced a complete teaching method now followed worldwide. He enjoys the enormous privilege of having been the first to teach the flamenco repertoire and style in such places as Russia (Tchaikovsky Conservatory, Moscow), Poland (Chopin Academy, Warsaw), and Panama (The University of Panama). He was also the first flamenco to give concerts in Iceland. In addition, he has taken his guitar to the most prestigious theaters, from the Opera of Cairo in Egypt, Madrid’s Royal Theatre and the Hermitage Theater of Saint Petersburg to Sydney, Beirut, Buenos Aires and Helsinki. He has also performed in the U.S.A, Brazil, Jordania, Germany and Chile.
His ample compositional repertoire includes technique studies and concert works: "La Guitarra Flamenca Paso a Paso" (series of video) and "Tratado de la Guitarra Flamenca" (in collaboration with Claude Worms). Oscar Herrero has a unique vision of flamenco music, taking care with each note and using his guitar to subtly express this art.
