Thomas Fellow
Thomas Fellow is a musician with an almost inexhaustible supply of innovative energy. He is a first rate acoustic guitarist, a stunning virtuoso and is considered one of the best musical collaborators in the world. In addition, his name is also associated with the development of the pioneering education programm "AKUSTISCHE GITARRE (concert music, world music, jazz, pop)" at the “University of Music Dresden” (Germany), the artistic direction of the "European Guitar Award" and for his work as the author of the comprehensive educational work for guitar as an accompanying instrument ("FELLOW GUITAR BOOK").
Thomas Fellow was born in 1966 in Leipzig and had his first guitar lessons at the local music school at the age of 7. At 16 and with several prizes in national competitions to his name, he enrolled at the “University of Music Weimar”, first in the preliminary study year, followed by undergraduate, postgraduate and master classes with Professors Monika and Jürgen Rost. At the age of 19 he was the only guitar soloist entered into the of?cial catalogue of the artists' agency of the German Democratic Republic, which at that time held a monopoly on placing musicians in prestigious concert series and at international venues.
