Peter Clemente is an eclectic musician with influences from both classical and improvisatory traditions whose playing has been described as “sumptuous classical guitar” (Camden Herald) and “haunting expressiveness” (Worcester Telegram & Gazette).
New England native Clemente is an alumnus of The Hartt School at the University of Hartford and the New England Conservatory in Boston. An award-winning guitarist and committed music educator, Clemente teaches at both Assumption University in Worcester and The Hartt School. Clemente’s performance career began with first prize awards in the Guitar Foundation of America International Solo Competition in 1986 and the Ovation Classical Guitar Competition in 1981. He was chosen by maestro Andres Segovia as a finalist in the Segovia Fellowship Competition held at New York University in 1984, and he was a second prize winner in the International Guitar Competition of Puerto Rico in 1985. He has since performed in solo and chamber music settings throughout New England and beyond.
