Overview
Born in Edinburgh in 1992, Sean Shibe studied at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and currently with Paolo Pegoraro in Italy. He is the first guitarist to be admitted to the prestigious BBC New Generation Artists scheme and the only solo guitarist to have received a Borletti–Buitoni Trust Fellowship.
‘From the very first note he plays, Sean Shibe immediately draws in the attention of the audience … Sean Shibe created a magical atmosphere; he seems to intimately understand the meaning behind every note which he plays.’ Classical Guitar Magazine, Wigmore Hall, February 2014
