Austin Grant
first started playing the guitar in his early teens, learning what
he could from the recordings of his favorite guitarists and from
playing with local musicians around town in Central California.
At the age of 18, he enrolled at Moorpark College to study the
guitar with Ron Borczon and it was here where his interest in the
classical style took root. Two years later Grant transferred to
Pepperdine University where he currently studies with American
guitar virtuoso, Christopher Parkening.
In 2008, Grant made his debut with the Moorpark Symphony Orchestra
performing his transcription of Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in A
minor (Op. 3, No. 6) and in 2009 was the featured soloist with
the Pepperdine University Orchestra performing Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s
Concerto in D. His accomplishments in guitar performance
have been recognized by both the American String Teachers
Association and the American Guitar Society.
Austin is currently a Senior at Pepperdine University working
towards a Bachelor of Arts degree in classical guitar performance.
