Stephen Waechter, Classical Guitarist
Stephen Waechter, classical guitarist, has concertized throughout the United States since 1973. His performances have been noted for their musical expressivity and technical virtuosity. The Newy York Times described him as playing with “uncommon sensitivity”. The Lincoln Journal wrote “…his special strength is a vivid musical sense of phrasing, expression and musical idiom.” The Huntsville Times (AL) reported “He was spellbinding in his interpretations…”
Making music is Steve’s greatest pleasure, and sharing that pleasure is the purpose of his public performances. By freely offering his heart and soul to his audience, his performances have a special sense of intimacy and connection. In the late 1980’s, he learned, in a profound manner, that “playing to express rather than playing to impress” was one of his deepest life purposes. In recent years, he has composed several works for solo guitar with have been warmly received by the concert public. He continues to collaborate with chamber musicians and ensembles.
