Description

David Grimes was first introduced to the guitar when he was a junior math major at Caltech and heard a recording of Andrés Segovia. He completed his degree in mathematics and subsequently worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena for several years while he pursued his guitar studies with Guy Horn and Oscar Ghiglia. As a soloist he has performed extensively throughout North America and Europe, and recent concert tours have taken him to Mexico, Greece, Bulgaria, Spain, Denmark, France, Malta, Belarus, Serbia and Montenegro. He is also in demand as a conductor and as a competition judge. David's interest in the guitar's predecessors led to his edition of Luys Milan: the Complete Fantasias and the celebrated series, Treasures of the Baroque, published by Mel Bay Publications. At the other end of the spectrum, he encourages and works actively with contemporary composers to create new guitar works. Many composers have been inspired to write pieces for guitar after hearing a David Grimes performance. His own compositions are now being performed by prominent guitarists throughout the world. Highly respected as a teacher and coach, David is presently Director of Guitar Studies at California State University, Fullerton, where he has developed one of the nation's leading centers of guitar instruction. He is past President of the Guitar Foundation of America and remains as Reviews Editor for the journal Soundboard.
