   About Simon Powis
The Australian classical guitarist, Simon Powis enjoys a truly international career. In the past years he has performed throughout the United States, Sweden, Belgium, England, Germany, Austria, Spain, Canada, Liechtenstein, and of course his home country of Australia. Among the highlight of this past summer was a recital at the Darwin International Guitar festival and the Norfolk New Music Festival along with recitals in Sweden, Belgium, and New York City in the U.S.

Simon studied with Raffaele Agostino at the Sydney conservatorium of music and also with Michael Lewin and Timothy Walker at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Following on from these studies Simon attended master classes with Ignacio Rhodes, Pavel Steidl, David Russell and Aniello Desiderio and was invited to undertake a winter residency at the Banff Center for the Arts in Canada. In 2006 Simon was offered a full scholarship to attend Yale University where he is currently completing his Masters degree with Ben Verdery.

Now based in the United States and employed as a guitar teacher at Yale University Simon continues to promote Australian music and collaborates with Australian musicians and composers to further contribute to the music scene in Australia and the United States.

Hi Simon!!
You were in my friends before we met in Chigiana! I didn't know that:-)...I don't know how to use this, so I didn't check this.
Anyway, it was really good surprise after 5 or 6 years past, and happy to see you again! Hope we can meet again in some where,, on a bus!? See you! Have a nice travel.

Hey Simon!!!

You're doing so well with everything... well done and well deserved... I love New York and I hope you are having an awesome time to say the least!!

I just got back from my Honeymoon (yes so just got married;).

As well as my own stuff I've been doing a bit of everything from session work here and in the U.K. to film composing and orchestrating which I'm really loving (funny enough my guitar design opened up some doors I wasn't expecting:). A film over here called Gabriel just came out that I did orchestrating on. It started out as an independent that got picked up by Sony, from there some cool stuff has been rolling on pretty well. Through an old lecturer at Uni I did similar stuff on a movie coming out called Jumper which should be released there in the States pretty soon.

As you know with music there are many peaks and valley's career wise but things have been slowly but surely moving on and I'm feeling pretty good about how it is all going at the moment.

It's so fantastic to hear how you are doing I hope you are enjoying every second of it!!

Have a great Christmas!!

Bryce
