Host

Hello Groupmusers! You're all invited to attend a Spanish guitar concert on my private terrace next to Central Park in the Upper West Side. The program starts at 7:30pm and will feature works by Spanish and Latin composers from the past two centuries. Feel free to bring your own wine/beer/snacks and mingle with guests before and after the concert.

This Groupmuse concert is a fundraiser for my debut studio album, "The Art of Guitar," scheduled to be released this Fall. Groupmuse tickets generally cost $10, but feel free to donate more if you'd like to help me record and release my first studio album. Thanks in advance! Keep reading for more info about me as an artist.

Bio:
Hailed by NBC News for making “…the guitar sing like it was invented only to be in his hands,” native Oregonian Tye Austin is an international award-winning classical guitarist and composer based in New York City. He has debuted at Carnegie Hall, London’s Royal Albert Hall, Boston State House, and he’s been featured in Psychology Today, The Boston Guardian, and on National Public Radio. He plays a wide range of musical genres from classical to jazz and contemporary pop. In 2015, he nurtured his affinity for Spanish and Latin guitar music while studying with David Martinez in Granada, Spain, where he visited the historical monuments and homes of his favorite Spanish composers. As a prodigious composer/arranger with over fifty original works to his name, Tye is also dedicated to expanding the classical guitar repertoire. His fundamental music studies began at Southern Oregon University in 2008, and he received his Master of Music degree from the New England Conservatory in 2016, where he studied with legendary maestro Eliot Fisk (the last student of Andres Segovia). Tye plays a custom-made 2015 Steve Connor Guitar from Cape Cod, MA. In his spare-time, he enjoys meditating, reading in solitude, and riding his bike through Central Park.
