Starting with music from right here in Australia, Hamish takes the audience across the globe, stopping in Brazil, France, New Zealand, and of course Spain! This programme explores not only the international differences in guitar music, but also the idea of classical fusion; combining genres such as jazz, flamenco, blues and raga into the classical repertoire.Reviewed as ‘Masterly’ Hamish achieved the first prize in the 2024 Taranaki Concerto and Aria Competition after which he performed Joaquin Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez with the Taranaki Symphony Orchestra.

The SOUNZ prize included a professional recording of the work which can be found through his YouTube alongside other recordings. In 2024, Hamish was awarded the New Zealand Aspiring Guitarist position for the Taranaki Classical Guitar Summer School where he performed as a featured artist.In demand as a chamber musician, Hamish has performed in a range of chamber ensembles including duos, trios and quartets, with Orchestra Wellington and with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
