After winning both the First Prize and the Audience Choice Award in the Barrios WorldWideWeb Competition 2011, the First Prize in the Montréal International Classical Guitar Competition 2011, and the ‘Governor of Tokyo’ prize in the Tokyo 55th International Classical Guitar Competition, Tariq Harb quickly established himself as one of the leading classical guitarists of his generation. Harb’s “well-deserved acclaim complements the virtuosity and freshness with which he is known to perform.” (Savino Music) His playing demonstrates “not just his flawless technique but also his refined taste and a great, innate sense for truly beautiful interpretation.” (The Jordan Times) Chosen as the CBC Radio NEXT! guitarist in 2013, Harb was celebrated as “Canada’s next classical guitar superstar” and was showcased performing on radio and live at the Glenn Gould studios in Toronto, Canada.
Harb’s past concert appearances in North America, Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Asia, are highlighted by performances in prestigious halls such as the 2000 year-old Roman Amphitheatre in Jordan, the Bunka Kaikan concert hall in Tokyo, the world-famous Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Edinburgh’s International Conference Centre (TEDGlobal) in the UK, and the illustrious Cairo Opera House in Egypt. Moreover, Harb performed and gave masterclasses in major guitar festivals including the Sauble Beach Guitar Festival and the Guitar Foundation of America Convention and Competition. He received an ‘Honorary Membership’ from the Arab Culture Centre in Jordan, recognizing his efforts and contributions to the arts both in the Arab world and abroad. Tariq Harb has three solo albums in his name to date: ‘From Bach to Barrios’, ‘A Guitar Through the Eras’, and ‘Harb Plays Sor Studies’. All titles have been released digitally worldwide. Harb also released a DVD to compliment his ‘Harb Plays Sor Studies’ album, comprising video performances and educational material on all the twenty Sor/Segovia Studies.
