Join us for a quiet evening with classical guitarist Aaron Haas. We will be asking that we keep the noise levels down and we will require a minimum spend of $20/person for this event
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.
