Yamashita rose to international prominence when he performed phenomenal feats on the solo classical guitar including Dvorak’s New World Symphony and Musorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. He recorded and toured extensively with flute giant James Galway and has enjoyed the distinction of being Japan’s most celebrated classical guitarist. Though a legendary performer, Yamashita makes trips to North America with extreme rarity. His debut in Austin is one of ACGS’s proudest moments and is the ideal beginning to our 20th anniversary season.
