CLASSICAL GUITARIST

COLLIN HOLLOWAY

WEDNESDAY, JULY 24TH

2:30 PM

BRILL CHAPEL

Classical guitarist Collin Holloway began playing at the age of nine in his home town

of Oklahoma City. His passion for the instrument and natural talent were cultivated

by Matthew Denman who acted as a teacher and mentor to Collin during his

adolescence. As a student at the Classen SAS performing arts middle/high school,

he was the first student in school history to reach the highest level of the guitar

department at only 12 years old. During his earliest studies he also played for such

talents as Pepe Romero, David Russel, Martha Masters, Anton Baranov, and Adam

Holzeman. Before departing for college, Collin gave his first solo recital to an

audience of 150 that was met with two standing ovations.

Collin's performing experience is extensive for such a young guitarist. He has

toured across much of America and Spain as a soloist and as a part of various

ensembles in festivals such as “Austin City Limits”, “CHAMBERart Madrid”, the

“Celedonio Romero Guitar institute”, in addition to a recent solo tour of Oklahoma

and Florida.

Highlights of his promising career include winning the Oklahoma Haire Solo Guitar

Competition, two consecutive first place finishes at the National Brownsville Guitar

Duet Competition, as well as the recent award of being selected to perform at a hall

in Orlando, Florida as one of four “rising young artists” this past November.

After completion of his secondary schooling, Collin went on to further develop his

talent at the Eastman School of Music where he studied under Nicholas Goluses and

Thomas Viloteau. Immediately after graduating from Eastman, he was offered a

teaching assistantship at the University of Kentucky College of Fine Arts, where he

will be pursuing his master’s degree in fall of 2019.
