Ben Abrahamson has performed with flamenco artists Susana di Palma of Zorongo Flamenco and La Conja, Gospel vocalists Tonia Hughes Kendrick and Billy Steele, and acoustic guitarists Tim Sparks, Dan Schwartz, Sam Breckenridge, and Ryan Picone. He is a faculty member at MacPhail Center for Music.
Tim Sparks has been redefining the acoustic guitar repertoire since he won the National Fingerpicking Championship in 1993 with a ground-breaking arrangement of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite. Equally at home with country, blues, jazz or World music, Sparks’s extraordinary ability has earned him an international reputation as one of the most innovative guitarists working today.
