Ricardo Cobo
The young Cobo began guitar lessons at the age of 8, playing on a twenty-dollar souvenir guitar his uncle brought back as a gift from Brazil. Both parents were taken by surprise when the young guitarist quickly outpaced his lessons and was admitted to the Antonio María Valencia Conservatory just shy of his 13th birthday. He graduated on scholarship and was immediately accepted to the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland where he began to work with renown pedagogue, Aaron Shearer. He graduated from the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem and later pursued postgraduate studies with Bruce Holzman at Florida State University where he was a three-time Doctoral Fellow. While completing his studies in the United States, Mr. Cobo earned consecutive prizes in a string of international competitions as well as a host of academic excellence awards and numerous scholarships. Among them, Gold Medals at the Sixth Guitar Foundation of America International Competition in Arizona, the Ninth Alirio Díaz International Competition in Caracas (with Leo Brouwer and Alirio Díaz as head jurors), and the Ninth Casa de España Competition in San Juan. As the first and only Hispanic ever to win the GFA prize, Mr. Cobo embarked on a highly auspicious tour of over seventy American cities followed by debut appearances as soloist and recitalist through Europe, Ukraine and Asia. Equally in demand as a chamber musician and soloist with orchestras, Cobo’s busy touring schedule has taken him from New York’s Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall to Korea’s Ho Ham Hall, Los Angeles’ Ambassador Auditorium, San Francisco’s OMNI Foundation, Atlanta at Spivey Hall, Washington DC’s Phillips Gallery, Madrid’s Teatro Real, and Zaragoza’s Palacio Real, to Venezuela’s Teresa Carreño, and his native Colombia’s National Library and Teatro Leon de Greiff, among hundreds of others.
Mr. Cobo’s versatility can be heard in his award-winning solo recordings of classical and children’s music, Tales for Guitar and Guitar Lullaby, as well as his orchestral and crossover recordings in collaborations with jazz and classical musicians - Café 1930 with Marc Gould and Walking on the Water. His Guitar Lullaby CD, currently on its third printing, was awarded the American Library Association’s highest recognition for children’s music as well as a Parent’s Choice Award and is widely regarded as one of the finest classical guitar audio experiences. The enormous success of the Lullaby series also showcases Cobo on Papa’s Lullaby, Mediterranean Lullaby, and Latin Lullaby. His world premiere recording of Leo Brouwer’s Guitar Concertos 3 & 4 was called by Fanfare “compelling—a recording that cannot be too highly recommended and will not be bettered for some time to come.” His most recent recording, Guitar Music From Latin America includes Cobo’s remarkable arrangements of Latin American standards. Additional newer releases include Festival Latino with flutist Alex Hawley, and Acrílicos, a collection of new music from living Cuban authors.
His diverse and innovative programming ranges from solo concerts with orchestra to historical chamber settings, as well as Tango and Flamenco dance ensembles to Latin and world music concerts. He has performed with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Carnegie Hall, The Dallas Symphony Orchestra at Meyerson Symphony Hall, and the Philharmonia Virtuosi of New York with Richard Kapp on tour in Southern Europe, and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of the Tango Consort with Tango couples Sandor & Parissa, Armando & Daniella, and Francisco & Carolina; the Ballet Jazz of Montreal, U. of Hawaii’s Guitar Summit with the Flying Pisanos and “Masters of the Acoustic Guitar” at Alice Tully Hall, to name a few. Cobo’s affinity and deep connection with Leo Brouwer’s music is apparent in both his recordings and live performances under the composer’s own baton. Decorated on numerous occasions by his country, Mr. Cobo was the first musician ever to be awarded the “Executive of the Year Award” by the Cámara Junior de Colombia, one the country’s oldest and most prestigious professional organizations. He was decorated by his country with the “Order of Cañasgordas” and personally by the Mayor of Cali, with the “Order of Belalcazar” for outstanding Merit in cultural affairs. Locally, Mr. Cobo chairs the classical guitar department at UNLV and is founder and artistic director of the Guitar Las Vegas/Allegro Guitar Series hosted at UNLV’s Doc Rando Concert Hall.
In addition, he teaches classical guitar lessons in a thriving private studio. In his spare time he rides his mountain bike at dazzling speeds and frequently undertakes night hikes through the moonlit canyons of Zion.
