PERFORMERS 2011


                                                                                
William Yelverton's exceptionally diverse repertoire and brilliant technique set him apart as one of today's most exciting and unique concert artists. He is an award-winning classical guitarist whose eclectic recital programs often include jazz, folk, latin, and flamenco, together with early music performed on Renaissance lute. As an authority on the art of guitar transcription, his unprecedented performances and recordings of masterworks by great composers have received wide critical acclaim. His debut CD, "Harpsichord Music on Guitar" was cited as "first-rate" by Guitar Review.

William Yelverton holds a Doctorate in Guitar Performance from the Florida State University and has won top prizes in the Guitar Foundation of America International Competition and the National Federation of Music Clubs Competition. As an instructor, he has given masterclasses throughout the US and has been invited to teach at the National Guitar Workshop's "Classical Summit" in Connecticut. He currently directs guitar studies at Middle Tennessee State University, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where he is Professor of Music.
