Biography (read more)

Andrew Blanch is regarded as one of Australia’s leading young classical guitarists. He made his solo debut at the Sydney Opera House in 2017 and has since performed internationally; his debut album Spanish Guitar Music received strong reviews and airplay on ABC Classic FM. A graduate of Timothy Kain’s guitar class at the Australian National University, he has won more than ten major competition prizes, including first place at the Adelaide International Classical Guitar Competition (2019) and the Melbourne International Guitar Competition (2016).

Alongside his solo career, Blanch performs in a long-standing duo with Ariel Nurhadi and as a member of The José Carbó Trio, and has appeared as soloist with orchestras in works including Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez.
