The Royal Greenwich Guitar Festival are excited to host the debut of the outstanding Belgian guitarist, Jan Depreter. Don't miss this concert!Known as “the Sound Painter” of the guitar for producing the most fascinating variety and scope in sound colours on the planet, Jan Depreter is considered among the top 10 of performing classical guitarists in the world today.
A graduate of the Lemmens Institute Leuven and the Royal Conservatories of Antwerp and The Hague, Depreter holds several Master Degrees in Music and is a prize-winner at more than 15 competitions from Tokyo to Paris, including top prizes in Alhambra, Paris, Tokyo, Vienna, as well as the Francisco Tárrega and Andrés Segovia competitions in Spain.

Having played the stages of the Far and not-so-far East, both Americas, the Russian Federation, Australia and all throughout Europe, the only continent Depreter has not played is Antarctica. But he doubts the penguins would be interested.
