Scott Borg guitarist
Praised as having “enormous facility on the guitar, a fluent technique, who plays with total confidence and professional expertise, panache and artful spontaneity” (Grammy Award winning guitarist Sharon Isbin), Australian classical guitarist Scott Borg performs extensively as a soloist and chamber musician and is known for his refined but yet daring performances. With a string of international scholarships and prizes under his belt, including the Australian Music Examinations Board highest honour, the Fellowship in Music Australia (F.Mus.A), his previous engagements have included performances at the Festival Internacional de Guitarra Mérida (Mexico), ICPNA Guitar Festival (Peru), and the Shell Darwin International Festival (Australia). In 2006 he was invited to perform for President Hu Jintao, Peoples Republic of China, at his internationally televised address to the United States of America at Yale University. As a winner of Artists International, Mr Borg gave his Carnegie Hall Debut to rave review where NY Concert Review described his performance as "well balanced, gracefully presented, and expertly played... each note was purposeful and focused, as was each was rest." Mr Borg began his guitar studies at the age of seven with his father, Victor, and was soon after accepted into the young artists program at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Currently a candidate in the Doctorate of Musical Arts program at New England Conservatory under the tutelage of Maestro Eliot Fisk, he received his Artist Diploma (Yale University), Masters of Music (The Juilliard School), and a Bachelor of Creative Arts with First Class Honours (University of Wollongong). |
