Info:
This Grammy-winning Scottish guitarist's enduring talent and passion for the guitar, its music and culture runs so deep that his adopted country, Spain, in turn adopted him as a native son. From his home-base of Nagrin, Russell tours the world, making San Francisco Performances a frequent stop, enthralling audiences and garnering critical praise with a riveting focus and inspiring technique.
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.
After winning the Grammy award, the town of Nigran in Spain where he resides, gave him the silver medal of the town in an emotional ceremony.
Upon hearing him play in London, Andres Segovia wrote: "My congratulations on your musicality and guitaristic technique."
