Jaume Torrent
Guitar Soloist
Jaume Torrent is one of Spain's most important musicians. He was born near Barcelona and attended the prestigious Conservatoria del Liceu, where he studied with Tarrago. Later, Mr. Torrent became the director of his alma mater. He began his international career in 1975 and has concertized extensively throughout Europe, Latin America, and in the United States. For many years, he led the famous guitar quartet known as "Quartet Tarrago", which was named in honor of his illustrious mentor.
Like Andres Segovia before him, Jaume Torrent has inspired composers to write works for the guitar. In addition, Senor Torrent has composed many works which are in the repertoires of famous musicians and major orchestras. In the Fall of 2002 he was "President of the Jury" at the internationally renowned Subiaco Competition in Italy.
