Minds and Music Concert

The Minds and Music concert series returns to UBC Okanagan with a performance by world-renowned classical guitarist Raphaël Feuillâtre.

Hailed as the new face of classical guitar worldwide, Djibouti-born Raphaël Feuillâtre fascinates audiences and critics alike with the depth of his interpretations, his dazzling virtuosity, and the richness of his repertoire. Winner of the prestigious Guitar Foundation of America competition in 2018, Raphaël was chosen as an exclusive artist by the label Deutsche Grammophon in 2022. His passion for chamber music is evident, as is his strong desire to champion his instrument in chamber repertoire.
