   About Michael Partington
Michael Partington is one of the most engaging of the new generation of concert players. Praised by Classical Guitar Magazine for his lyricism, intensity and clear technical command, this award-winning British guitarist has performed internationally as a soloist and with ensemble to unanimous critical praise. Audiences are put at ease by his charming stage manner and captivated by his musical interpretations. His innate rhythmic understanding and sense for tonal colour combine to form some of the most memorable phrasing to be heard on the guitar. He began playing guitar at age 6 while growing up in Wales, gave his first public performance at age 7 and won his first competition at age 9. He has trained with many of the worlds greatest guitarists, including Oscar Ghiglia, Eliot Fisk, Eduardo Fernandez, Manuel Barrueco and David Russell, who commented on his exquisite good taste and fluid perfection. He is currently head of the guitar program at the University of Washington in Seattle. For more information and more MP3s please visit my web site: www.michaelpartington.com

Hello Michael, it's great to meet you, thanks for having me. It's wonderful just to sit back and listen to Dowland Fantasy, and absorb it all, the amazing musicianship, the tone and texture of the music and fine production. A total pleasure to experience your performance. Regards, Duncan.

Still on shore leave... academic duties come Jan. in PDX. Nomading a bit - couple suitcases, few guitars, laptop, studebaker,,, the rest ended up in the bonfire. How's university life? Still finding time to be an artist? (Looks it).
