Sharon Isbin, guitar

Audiences around the world know that two-time Grammy Award-winner Sharon Isbin plays with “superb artistry” and “mesmerizing finesse” (Los Angeles Times). Critics reach for superlatives to describe her playing:She gets nuances out of the classical guitar few guitarists since Segovia have matched” (Chicago Tribune). Without question, “Isbin’s ability to make her guitar sing raises her into the ranks of the world’s greatest masters of the guitar”(Toronto Star).

“Classical guitar’s reigning diva” (Dallas Morning Star).
