Richter is returning to the Inland Northwest for his annual Lead Guitar residency program with Post Falls High School. The residency program is sponsored in part by the National Endowment on the Arts and the Idaho Commission on the Arts.

Uzur and Richter met in 2005 when Richter was commissioned by Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, where Uzur is a cello professor, to write a concert-length chamber piece, “Navigating Lake Bonneville.” The piece prominently featured cello and guitar, and as it developed, so too did a close friendship and a deep mutual respect that became the foundation for this collaboration.

Since October 2008, the Richter Uzur duo has appeared regularly on National Public Radio broadcasts of “American Public Media’s Performance Today” as well as NPR’s “Classical Guitar Alive.”

Richter began teaching himself to play guitar and compose at age 12. At 19, having had no formal musical training, he was awarded the Presidential Scholarship to the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago where he studied with guitarist Paul Henry and began performing, composing and eventually teaching professionally. After completing his undergraduate degrees in performance and composition, Richter accepted a scholarship to the Royal College of Music in London where he studied with Carlos Bonell. He became the first guitarist in the college’s history to win the coveted Thomas Morherr Prize for voice accompaniment and went on to win the Royal College of Music’s guitar competition before completing his master’s degree and returning to the U.S. to continue his concert career.

Richter has performed around the globe as a soloist, with renowned chamber ensembles, and in duos with artists such as David Finckel, cellist of the Grammy-winning Emerson String Quartet and director of chamber music at Lincoln Center. Festival appearances include The World Youth Guitar Festival, The Guitar Festival of Great Britain, The London International Guitar Festival (where he was a co-headliner with Carlos Bonell, Alirio Diaz and John Williams), The Aspen Music Festival, Festival Dr. Alfonso Ortiz Tirado (Mexico) and the Walnut Valley Festival, where he won the National Finger-picking Championship in 1999, a competition that features some of the world’s finest guitarists from all genres.
