MORE ABOUT THIS TITLE

Grammy® Award-winning guitarist Sharon Isbin’s debut release on Sony Masterworks is, as she describes it, “A voyage in song from the British Isles to the New World.” She is joined by two stellar guest artists, Grammy® Award-winning folk singer Joan Baez and violin virtuoso Mark O’Connor. The album includes world premieres of the Joan Baez Suite by John Duarte, and the Strings & Threads Suite for violin and guitar by O’Connor.

Acclaimed for her extraordinary lyricism, technique and versatility, Grammy® Award-winner Sharon Isbin has been hailed as “the pre-eminent guitarist of our time.” Winner of the Madrid, Toronto, and Munich Competitions, and Guitar Player’s “Best Classical Guitarist” award, Ms. Isbin gives sold-out performances throughout the world in the greatest halls including New York’s Carnegie and Avery Fisher Halls, Boston’s Symphony Hall and Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center. She has served as Artistic Director/Soloist of festivals she created for Carnegie Hall and New York’s 92nd Street Y, and the acclaimed national radio series Guitarjam.

A frequent guest on NPR’s All Things Considered and Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion, she has been profiled on CBS Sunday Morning and A&E Television, and was a featured guest on Showtime Television’s hit series The L Word. She has been featured in periodicals from People to Elle, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, as well as on the cover of more than 35 magazines. Most recently, she performed as soloist in the soundtrack of Martin Scorsese’s Academy Award®-winning film, The Departed.
