Praised as “a gifted guitarist whose energetic, thoughtful and artistic playing is wonderfully compelling and dynamic" by guitarist Sharon Isbin, American classical guitarist Dr. Connie Sheu is a performer, teacher, and advocate of classical guitar. Her playing has been hailed by the New York Sun as “excellent, ruminative... scholarly."
Past performances and teaching engagements have taken her from Carnegie Hall’s Weill Recital Hall to Florida, Oklahoma, Moldova, Italy, Hungary, and throughout California. Connie released her solo album Waking or Sleeping in 2008, of which Classical Guitar Magazine wrote, “Her debut recording displays, without a doubt, her talents as a concert artist.” She holds degrees from Columbia University and the Juilliard School, and earned her Doctor of Musical Arts at the University of Southern California. Connie serves as Director of Communications for the Guitar Foundation of America and teaches at the Pasadena Conservatory of Music.
