The Royal Greenwich Guitar Festival are delighted to welcome John Mills back to our stage and this year he will be performing in duo with his wife, Cobie Smit.John Mills began learning the instrument at the age of nine. He subsequently studied with John Williams at the Royal College of Music, London, and with Julian Bream and Andrés Segovia, in master-classes in England and Spain respectively. Segovia later commented that Mr Mills playing "had purity of technique and musical sensitivity". In 1970, he was a prize-winner in the Greater London Arts Association search for talented young performers, and he then made his official London debut at the Wigmore Hall the following year.
His international debut came in 1972 with a tour of Eastern Canada, and he has since given hundreds of performances in North America, Europe, Scandinavia, S. E. Asia, Australia and New Zealand, as well as a vast number of recitals on the British circuit.
John Mills is the former Head of Guitar at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, Cardiff, and was a professor at the Royal Academy of Music, London for twenty years. He is an Associate of both the R.C.M. and R.A.M. and is a Fellow of the City of Leeds College of Music.
