An endearing performer, Pablo Cohen, has participated in solo, ensemble, and

orchestral concerts in the United States, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the

Caribbean. Festival appearances have included Philadelphia's Mozart on the

Square, Festival Casals in Puerto Rico, Carrefour Mondial de la Guitare in

Martinique, Geneva International Festival, and Musickfest '95 in Bethlehem,

Pennsylvania.

"Grand class and enlighted emotion ... "These are the words that Les Cahiers

de la Guitare used to describe the playing of Pablo Cohen upon his debut recital

at the Salle Cartot in Paris in 1991. "Fluid and delicate shape" wrote the

Philadelphia Inquirer in reviewing his rendering of Giulani's Concerto for

guitar and strings with Concerto Soloists of Philadelphia. However, it is not

just mastery of expression in the traditional literature that has begun to establish

this artist as "one of the foremost South American guitarists" (Korea Times,

Seoul). More recently, he was recognized to record the premier of Carlos

Guastavino's Jeromita Linares with Camerata Bariloche Chamber Orchestra of

Argentina for Dorian Recordings ("A cordial recommendation: outstandingly

fine playing of a repertoire few of us know" Gramophone, November 1995).

His transcriptions of Chick Corea's Childrens Songs along with music by

"Third Stream" composers, represent an exciting new direction for classical

guitar in the 1990's.

"In short, Pablo Cohen is an outstanding classical player ... the kind of artist

the festival would do well to find more often." (The Morning Call, Allentown,

Pennsylvania.)

Pablo Cohen is the classical guitar professor at Ithaca College and at Mansfield

University in Pennsylvania.
