To transform through the power of music Scott Kritzer is one of those rare artists who can transform Audiences “…the large crowd sat transfixed by the captivating performance… even the sound of breathing came to a halt.” Robin Bieker, The Downtowner Students “After thirty years of playing, four years in a guitar performance degree program, and ten years of lessons and master class workshops I was still using a composite of haphazard methods. Scott imparts a proven, systematic, and practical way of learning and performing repertoire. ” Peter Jespersen Read more… Critics “…he created an inner life in his playing, a thinking and caring musician.” Bernard Holland of the New York Times and Concerts and Events Presenters “He possesses an uncanny ability to seek out and commission fresh, invigorating repertoire that he invests with both robust character and poetic nuance.

Who is Scott When Scott Kritzer finished the final chords of his highly-acclaimed Carnegie Hall debut he was hailed by the New York Times as: “…an intelligent and self-assured classical guitarist…with a sure technique and a musical sensitivity, he created an inner life in his playing of Bach, a thinking and caring musician.” Mr. Kritzer made yet another musical splash with debuts in London’s prestigious Wigmore Hall, Lutheran Hall and Sapporo, Japan. In 1996 Mr. Kritzer was chosen by Oregon Senator Mark O. Hatfield to represent the entire state of Oregon in a special performance at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
