Biography
Grammy[1][2]-nominated classical guitarist Marc Regnier has won the attention and respect of critics, producers, and musicians for over three decades as a performer, recording artist and educator. This unique artist has been described as that of “a master of his instrument” and “a musician of intelligence, lyricism and subtlety.” Since his concert debut at the age of fifteen, Regnier has performed in major cities throughout America from San Francisco to New York’s Carnegie Recital Hall. He also has appeared in concert and given master classes in Canada and South America. Marc Regnier is a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences. Regnier has had the privilege of working with Grammy-winning and -nominated engineers and producers in his numerous recordings with the Naxos, Musical Heritage Society and Dorian/Sono Luminus labels. Regnier’s recordings have drawn such critical acclamation as “Rarely have the repertoire and the skills of a particular artist been combined as effectively ... a significant recording on all accounts.” (Fanfare). After his debut release Soundboard magazine proclaimed “... as pleasurable affair as any first recording since the advent of Manuel Barrueco.” Dorian Sono Luminus has recently released Regnier’s latest recording which features chamber and solo works of Brazilian composer Radames Gnattali and is Grammy nominated for "Best Chamber Performance". Regnier currently chairs the guitar department at the College of Charleston in South Carolina.[3]
