In 2023 Laurel won the Denver International Youth Competition and became the youngest semi-finalist in the Josephina P. Tuason International Guitar Competition. She was also a semi-finalist in the James Stroud National Classical Guitar Competition in 2023 and 2022.

    Summer of 2023 was a transformative experience as Laurel attended the Celedonio Romero Guitar Institute, working intensively with the renowned Romero Quartet. She has participated in masterclasses with celebrated musicians such as Ana Vidovic, Los Romeros, the Beijing Guitar Duo, Jason Vieaux, and Goran Krivokapić. Another career highlight is her selection as one of only six guitarists to perform for Peabody Conservatory's Manuel Barrueco in his October 2023 Pre-College Guitar Virtuosos masterclass.

    Laurel’s academic accomplishments include completing the highest levels of the Certificate of Merit in music theory and performance with state honors. She was invited to audition for the Young Artist Guild of the Music Teachers’ Association of California and earned the Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award in 2024. This award supported her studies in Spain and featured her on National Public Radio's music program From the Top in the episode “Musicians from Rural America,” which aired in April 2024.

    Outside of music, Laurel enjoys teaching beginner guitar students, hiking, running, and helping on her family’s small farm. She attended the Volterra Project in Italy on a full scholarship in 2024, furthering her artistry and international reach.

    Laurel’s passion, talent, and hard work captivate audiences. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness her exceptional artistry during this exciting stage of her career.

    Masterclass with Professor David Tanenbaum, San Francisco Conservatory of Music

    Performer slots for this class are sold out. Admission to audit the class is free.

    March 1, 2025, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

    Evergreen Valley High School, 3300 Quimby Road, San Jose

    Please note that a parent or guardian must accompany performers under the age of 18 at all times, including during warm-up and the class itself.

    Directions

    The South Bay Guitar Society is pleased to present a masterclass with David Tanenbaum, chair of the guitar department at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Players will perform individually and receive feedback from Professor Tanenbaum in this educational event.

    Recognized internationally as an outstanding performing and recording artist and a charismatic educator, David Tanenbaum is “one of today’s most distinguished guitarists,” notes the BBC. He has performed in more than 45 countries and in 1988 became the first American guitarist invited by the Chinese government to perform in China

    He has been a soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Minnesota Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, and many others, with such eminent conductors as Esa-Pekka Salonen, Alan Gilbert, Kent Nagano, and John Adams. The New York Times called him “a master of the instrument," adding, "Mr. Tanenbaum played so musically and expressively that the listener was led directly to the essence of composer.”

    While his repertoire encompasses diverse styles, Tanenbaum is recognized as one of today’s most eloquent proponents of new guitar repertoire. Among the many works written for him is Hans Werner Henze’s guitar concerto An Eine Aolsharfe, which he premiered throughout Europe and recorded with the composer conducting, Terry Riley’s first guitar piece Ascención, five works by Pulitzer Prize winner Aaron Jay Kernis, and the last completed piece by Lou Harrison. Tanenbaum has toured extensively with Steve Reich and Musicians and was invited to a guitar festival produced by Toru Takemitsu in Nagano, Japan. Tanenbaum’s arrangement of Steve Reich’s Nagoya Guitars, created in collaboration with the composer, is performed worldwide.

    Tanenbaum’s three dozen recordings reflect his broad repertoire interests. His 2002 recording as soloist with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic in John Adams's Naïve and Sentimental Music was nominated for a Grammy Award. Tanenbaum's latest release Double Echo-New Guitar Concertos from the Americas became a best seller on the Naxos label.

    Tanenbaum is chair of the guitar department at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where he received the 1995 Outstanding Professor Award, and is in demand for master classes worldwide.

Mallett has commissioned new works by over a dozen composers including Clarice Assad, Gity Razaz, Gabriella Smith, Courtney Bryan, Javier Farias, Ray Lustig, Mary Kouyoumdjian, and others. Using period instruments, Mallett recently recorded several videos of the music of 19th century African-American classical guitarist and civil rights activist Justin Holland for the Austin Marie Guitar Collection.

    Mallett has been on the faculty of the University of California Santa Cruz since 2016 as a lecturer of classical guitar studies. He has given lectures at the Juilliard School, the New York Guitar Society, the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, the South Bay Guitar Society, and the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. In 2019 he joined the GFA's board of trustees.

    David Russell is world-renowned for his superb musicianship and inspired artistry and has earned the highest praise from audiences and critics alike. In recognition of his great talent and his international career, he was named a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music in London in 1997.

    In May 2003 he was bestowed the great honor of being made "adopted son" of Es Migjorn, the town in Minorca where he grew up. Later the town named a street "Avinguda David Russell" in his honor. After winning a Grammy, the town of Nigrán in Spain where he resides, honored him  with a town medal.

    During his studies at the Royal Academy, Russell twice won the Julian Bream Guitar Prize. Later he won numerous international competitions, including the Andrés Segovia Competition, the José Ramírez Competition and Spain's prestigious Francisco Tárrega Competition.

    Today Russell tours the world and appears regularly at prestigious halls in New York, London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Madrid, Toronto and Rome, captivating concertgoers with his musical genius and captivating stage presence. His love of his art resonates through his flawless and seemingly effortless performances. The attention to detail and provocative lyrical phrasing suggest his innate understanding of what each composer sought and bring a sense of adventure to each piece.

    A prolific recording artist, Russell has made includes 17 albums with Telarc International.

    The New York Times has commented: "... Mr. Russell made his mastery evident without ever deviating from an approach that places musical values above mere display. It was apparent to the audience throughout the recital that Mr. Russell possesses a talent of extraordinary dimension."

    Upon hearing him play in London, Andrés Segovia wrote, "My congratulations on your musicality and guitaristic technique."
