Matthijs van Delft

Matthijs van Delft - werkplaats otto vowinkel

This is Matthijs van Delft, a young, Dutch guitarist, studying at the Royal Conservatory in Den Haag with Fernando Cordas  in his Young Talent Class. Matthijs came to the workshop together with his father to buy a new guitar. Less than a month later he sent me an email, telling me that he is very happy with his guitar and won the junior competition of the Antwerpen Guitar Festival as well as the Leo Brouwer prize!

Well done Matthijs!! Congratulations!

winners #2

The two young guitarists Sanel Redzic and Tariq Harb are both doing very well in the world of competitions. I wrote about them earlier and I am doing it again because they won the first and second prize at the Tokyo International Guitar Competition. Congratulations to both of them. Last September Tariq played in our series in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Coming March Sanel Redzic will give his recital. Looking forward.

Congratulations Sanel!  For the guitar facts likers among us, Sanel plays a cedar/coco bolo guitar, built in 2010. See more of him on youtube.

The other winner is Tariq Harb. He won the first prize a the Montreal Guitar Competition in Canada. I have only heard him play on youtube which I liked very much and wrote about earlier. Of course congratulations to him as well! And for the guitar facts likers : Tariq plays a spruce / rosewood built in 1996.
