Ferenc Snétberger is well into his third decade of playing and still going strong. He has all the talent and the finesse at his fingertips to have been able to play the guitar like Al Di Meola or George Benson. Yet he chose a more difficult route, seeking his own sound: an inimitable, intimate sound in which we find traces of his classical music training, Roma tradition, flamenco and jazz. This has lifted him above the crowd, putting him on the same plane with the greatest artists such as singer Bobby McFerrin and legendary bass guitarist Richard Bona. He wrote the Holocaust-related piece “In Memory of My People” for guitar and orchestra. He interpreted – dramatically and authentically – contemporary Italian composer Luciano Berio (Sequenza XI). In 2011 he founded the Snétberger Music Talent Center, which provides music training to children with special needs.
