Andrew Blanch
Andrew Blanch is recognised as one of Australia's leading young classical
guitarists. He made his solo recital debut at the Sydney Opera House in
2017 to critical acclaim and to date his career has taken him around the
world. His debut CD Spanish Guitar Music "secured this young musician's
place amongst a glittering Australian classical guitar constellation" (Limelight
Magazine).
In addition to his work with the The José Carbó Trio, Andrew's 2018 engagements include: concerto soloist in Nigel Westlake's Antarctica Suite with the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra
conducted by the composer, invited artist to perform and adjudicate at the 3rd Biennial New Zealand Guitar
Competition in Wellington, and a solo European tour including concerts in the UK, Italy and Spain, where he is a
featured artist performing and giving masterclasses at the Festival Guitarra Maestro Joaquin Rodrigo.
Andrew is a graduate of Timothy Kain's renowned guitar class at Australian National University and won ten major
competition prizes including First Place in both the Melbourne International Guitar Competition (2016) and the
Whitworth-Roach Classical Music Competition (2015). (www.andrewblanch.com)
