biografía
sobre Jacob
|
Jacob Cordover pasó su infancia en Australia donde tuvo sus primeras clases de guitarra. Con una carrera internacional a lo largo de más de veinte años ha tocado en más de doce países de cuatro continentes.
Para Cordover es tan habitual tocar como solista, como en pequeños conjuntos de cámara o frente a una orquesta. Ha actuado en salas de conciertos como el Palau de la Música y L’Auditorí de Barcelona, el Centennial Hall de Pekín y el Teatro Principal del Centro Cultural de Filipinas. Cordover toca una amplia gama de estilos musicales e incluye en sus repertorios piezas desde la música barroca hasta la contemporánea. Su público está igual de acostumbrado a verle tocar un estreno mundial como verle interpretar una joya olvidada del siglo XIX con instrumentos de época. | ||
