SF Performances and OMNI Foundation Present: David Russell, Guitar

Classical guitarist David Russell is world-renowned for his superb musicianship and inspired artistry, having earned the highest praise from audiences and critics alike. In recognition of his great talent and his international career, he was named a Fellow of The Royal Academy of Music in London in 1997. In May 2003 he was bestowed the great honor of being made "adopted son" of Es Migjorn, the town in Minorca where he grew up. Later the town named a street after him, "Avinguda David Russell". In November 2003 he was given the Medal of Honor of the Conservatory of the Balearics.

"Russell is not only an elegant musician but also a technician of the highest order" (SF Classical Voice). Grammy(R) winner David Russell has returned to SF Performances more than any other guitarist, and with good reason. His performances never cease to captivate audiences with his flawless technique, broad repertory, and warm stage presence.
