Christopher Parken ing "Christopher Parl<enlng Is a grea/ artist - he is one of the most brllllant

gu/farlsfs In the world." (Andres Segovia}

As America's leading virtuoso guitarist. Christophe r Parkening has become a legend. Performing In the major music centers. his artistry has enthralled the musical world. He has been an active student of the guitar since the age of eleven and won his first triumphs while still In his teens. In subsequent years he took up academic and muslcal studies at the University of Southern California. He studied interpretation wtth the legendary Piatigorsky and worked with Segovia In master classes ln California and Spain.

Christopher Parkenlng's international fame has been greatly augmented by his best· selling albums for Angel Records. One of the best-selling classical albums of 1983 was his Simple Gilts . More recently, Angel recorded a Joint recllal by Parkening and Kathleen Battle at the 1984 Ravinia Festival. (The duo first performed the program at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, on the Great Performers Series.) This album has been at the top of the classical charts for much of 1986 .

Christopher Parkening recognized the obligation of the accomplished Instrumenta list to pass along the heritage of knowledge to ycunger musicians and takes the time to give master classes. He is the author of The Christopher Parkening Guitar Method, \.bl. I. which was published by Sherry-Brenner Ltd. of Chicago. The book presents the artist's personal approach after his years of study, performing and teaching.

"He played before an owrflow crowd. From Renaissance composers to the present his program was played superlatively well . Altogether a spellbinding recital ." -The New York Times
