One of the most versatile guitarists performing today, Sean Shibe’s innovative approach to his instrument has earned him a reputation as “one of the most discriminating ears in the business” (Gramophone). He was the first guitarist ever to be selected for BBC Radio 3’s New Generation Artists scheme, to be awarded a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and, in 2018, to receive the Royal Philharmonic Society Award for Young Artists. Accolades for his recordings include two Gramophone Awards and an Opus Klassik. He is also the 2022 recipient of the Leonard Bernstein Award.
Curated by David Lang, Artist-in-Residence at the Institute for Advanced Study.
