Join us again for another classical guitar night with Aaron.

Aaron Haas is a classical guitarist, guitar teacher, and arranger currently based in
Seattle. A skilled communicator and expressive performer, both his teaching and
performing aim to open us to what it’s like to be fully human, fully alive. From a family of
singer-songwriters he learned early on the power of a musical narrative, and with
extensive background in meditation he strives to create music from a place of silence
and aliveness. Aaron has studied at some of the most prestigious schools in the world,
including a summer at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena with the late Oscar Ghiglia, and
two years at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana with Lorenzo Micheli. In 2015 he
earned his Masters at the University of Colorado at Boulder with a student of Micheli’s,
Nicolò Spera, and in 2019 he became a Doctor of Musical Arts through the University of
Southern California with teachers William Kanengiser and Pepe Romero. Beginning in
2017, he co-founded the voice and guitar duo “Duo Apollon” with soprano Anastasia
Malliaras. The pair won the Beverly Hills Auditions in 2019, toured the entire
central/southern California region, and in 2023 released their first album through
Navona Records entitled “Folksongs.” Aaron has also grown a dedicated meditation
practice, and in addition to teaching meditation, aims to combine both sound and
silence in his music making.
