We are delighted that Frederick Lawton returns to give us another recital. Initially an electric guitarist, Frederick decided to move to classical guitar whilst already at university studying Popular Music and Jazz. He studied under Paolo Pegoraro at the Segovia Guitar Academy in Italy after lessons at Laban College and The Royal Northern School of Music.
In 2018 he became an artistic director for the Norwegian Guitar Festival, was the first English guitarist to record solo for Guitar Salon International in Los Angeles California and the first English student to be accepted by the Segovia Guitar Academy. As a sought-after teacher, his students have won national guitar competitions, places in the National Youth Guitar Ensembles and places in Conservatoires across Europe and North America.
He teaches at Highgate School and Wilson’s School in London and is currently working on two recording projects, a Spanish album due for release imminently on Resonus Records and an all baroque album due to be recorded in 2025.
He currently plays on a 2024 Michael Gee spruce guitar and a 2020 Michel Belair cedar guitar.
