NICK PRICE“…The gorgeous Adagio was played beautifully, easily paced, in a relaxed manner, as if every note had to be savoured to the full: dynamics sensitively handled, with discreet rubato that let the music breathe…”
Middle C, June 2011
Nick Price is currently pursuing a PGDip in classical guitar performance after completing his BMus degree under the tutelage of Dr. Jane Curry at the New Zealand School of Music. After picking up the guitar at age 14, he studied under Ross Townsend in New Plymouth before studying with Matthew Marshall in 2009-10 at the NZSM. He has played in masterclasses for many acclaimed artists such as Ricardo Gallen, John Griffiths, Xuefei Yang, Miguel Trapaga, Alexsandr Tsiboulski and renowned composer/guitarist Marek Pasieczny. He is a recipient of Dame Malvina Major Elite Tertiary scholarships, and the 2009 winner of the Muriel May Memorial Scholarship performance competition. Nick was selected to perform with the New Plymouth Orchestra in their 2012 season playing Giuliani’s Concerto Op.30, and gave the opening concert for the Inaugural Taranaki Classical Guitar Summer School in the same year.

JAMIE GARRICK‘… a poetic interpretation, with sensitive phrasing and appropriate rubato, underpinned by a sound technique…’
Frances Robinson, Middle C Classical Music Reviews
In 2012, Jamie Garrick completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Classical Guitar performance, following a Bachelor’s degree, at the New Zealand School of Music, Wellington. He picked up the guitar at age 13, before later studying with Matthew Marshall in 2009-2010 and Dr Jane Curry from 2011 to the present, under whom he is currently completing a Masters. In 2012, he performed alongside Matthew Marshall and the Tudor Consort, and was also a member of the New Zealand School of Music Guitar Quartet which performed in several venues around the city, including the Michael Fowler Centre for the May 2012 Victoria Graduation Ceremonies. He has also performed in masterclasses for guitarists such as Ricardo Gallen, Xuefei Yang, John Couch, Alieksey Vianna, and Aleksandr Tsiboulski, and in numerous concert series, as well as conducting and teaching in a variety of educational settings and outreaches in the Wellington region and beyond. Jamie is a recipient of the Sir Alan Stewart Postgraduate Scholarship as well as the New Zealand School of Music Director’s Postgraduate Scholarship. His current research draws on recent developments in performative musicology, and explores the interaction of several early nineteenth-century guitarists with concepts of virtuosity.
