Programme Note
Two-time Grammy Award winner Berta Rojas is one of the world’s foremost classical guitarists. Berta’s widely admired warmth and musicality have earned her the admiration of audiences at major venues worldwide such as the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the Frederick P. Rose Hall of Jazz at Lincoln Center NY, London’s South Bank Centre, the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., the National Concert Hall in Dublin, where she performed as a soloist with the Irish Radio and Television Orchestra, and the Flagey Studio 4 in Brussels, where she performed with the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra for Belgian National Television. Originally from Paraguay she now teaches at Berklee College in the US and at guitar events around the globe.
