Fred Springer is an artist dedicated to sharing music and art with the world through performance, outreach, and education. Having performed on three different continents in countries including the United States, Argentina, Switzerland, and Canada, Fred has developed a compelling way to share his passion for the classical guitar with audiences across different cultures. He has been awarded top prizes in international solo guitar, ensemble, and mixed instrument competitions. He earned a Bachelor of Music from the University of Texas at Austin where he also completed a minor in Art History, and a Master of Music from Columbus State University where he served as a graduate assistant in the Schwob School of Music. Fred now lives and works in Boston, MA, where he serves on the faculty of Kithara Project, EKS Music School, and the North End Music & Performing Arts Center. In addition, Fred arranges and transcribes music for guitar and has a passion for film and visual art.

Although SMSC doesn’t currently offer a classical guitar program, we are happy to have Fred bring his significant knowledge and experience in music education, chamber music, and performance.
