The featured artist for our September meeting is Joel Baldwin (BMus Hons Vic)
Joel Baldwin is an award-winning classical guitarist based in Wellington, New Zealand. He has a focus on the performance of music of both the 18th century and contemporary works. Currently completing honours at the New Zealand School of Music Te Kōkī, he made his public debut as a soloist in 2016 in the Tairawhiti Museum in Gisborne as part of Jack C. Richards concert series. Baldwin was a finalist of the 2016 New Zealand Classical Guitar Competition, semi-finalist of 2018 Melbourne Guitar Foundation competition, recipient of the 2015 NZSM Directors scholarship, as well as being awarded New Zealand Aspiring Guitarist by the Taranaki Classical Guitar Summer School, 2018. Of a performance of Bach’s E-minor lute suite, Lindis Taylor, wrote that he ‘gave them most persuasive accounts, interpreting them as if conceived originally for the guitar,
as if Bach himself was a master of the instrument.’
Current projects include transcriptions of Handel’s keyboard suites and Douglas Lilburn’s piano music for guitar duet, solo video recording of Lilburn’s 17 pieces for guitar, as well as musicological research into the relationship between aesthetic ontology and historical performance practice.
