Raphaël Feuillâtre, Guitar

Part of our Performances Up Close series, audience is seated onstage alongside the musicians in an hour-long program.

The Djibouti-French 28-year-old phenom makes his Princeton University Concerts debut amid his meteoric rise as the new voice of classical guitar. In an hour-long program — grounded in translating works originally written for baroque instruments into the vibrant soundscape of the guitar — he will showcase some of the music included in his debut album for the Deutsche Grammophon as one of the only guitarists to have ever been signed by this storied label.
