    Cypress Creek FACE presents Susan McDonald, classical guitar.

    Ms. McDonald is more than a virtuoso guitarist with a technique that knows no difficulties, she’s a mature artist whose playing abounds with clarity insight, communicative warmth, unfailing musicality, and taste.

    Rapidly becoming recognized as one of the most exciting new talents on the international music scene, Susan McDonald has given concerts in a wide variety of venues, from community colleges to Carnegie Hall Her audiences have ranged from the elderly residents of a Viennese nursing home to the President of the United States, and her music has been enthusiastically received in concert halls, outdoor festivals, universities, libraries, museum, and numerous other venues.

    A native of Texas, Miss McDonald began playing the guitar at the age of seven. As a teenager she became the student of Pepe Romero, with whom she studied intensively in the United States and in Europe.

    Public appearances soon followed with concerts in Texas, Florida, California and New York. She has played concerts in South America, Europe, throughout the United States and in Canada, where in 1992 she did a residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts. She has played for radio and television broadcasts in the United States, Germany, Austria and Ecuador.

    Her recording of the Carmen Miranda standard "Tico-Tico" was chosen by the German newspaper Welt am sonntag as one of the "Classical Top-Ten of the Week." Susan McDonald has premiered works by many contemporary composers, including Edgar Cortes, Hampton Burt, Rodrigo Rodrigues, Myron McDonald, Paul Clancy and John King. Her second CD, The Cathedral, received three preliminary Grammy nominations.
