STANLEY YATES
Stanley Yates enjoys an accomplished and diverse international career as a virtuoso performer and recording artist, arranger, scholar, and teacher.Described as "one of an elite breed of guitarists" (Classical Guitar Magazine, England), praised for his "musical instinct and brilliant technique" (Suonare, Italy) and noted for the "transcendent quality of his interpretations" (Fort Worth Star Telegram, USA), his performances, recordings and editions have been received with critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic.
A past prize-winning performer in such prestigious competitions as the Myra Hess (London) and the Guitar Foundation of America, he is regularly invited to present concerts, masterclasses and lectures at leading music schools and festivals in both the United States and Europe. He has been dedicatee and/or first performer of music by such leading guitar composers as Stephan Rak, John Duarte and Angelo Gilardino, and has given first modern performances of such important rediscovered works as the Premier Concerto by Ernest Shand and the Valsa Concerto by Heitor Villa Lobos. His recordings for Reference Recordings, Heartdance Music and Aeolian Recordings include chamber music, his arrangements of the Bach Cello Suites, and first recordings of music by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, John Rutter, and other contemporary composers.
His performance articles dealing with the music of such composers as J. S. Bach and Heitor Villa-Lobos have been published internationally, in six languages, in such journals as Il Fronimo, Guitarre & Laute, Gendai Guitar, 8 Sonoro, Soundboard and Classical Guitar.
He currently directs the guitar program at Austin Peay State University, home of Tennessee's Center of Excellence for the creative Arts.
