Concert with An Tran

Hailed by The Boston Globe for his “subtle, graceful virtuosity” and described as a “Vietnamese Guitar Virtuoso” by Austin Classical Guitar, guitarist An Tran continues to impress audiences with his innate musicality and dynamic artistry. In recent seasons, An has been invited to perform recitals at international concert stages such as the Guitar Society of Toronto, Córdoba Guitar Society, Segovia Classical Guitar Series, New Orleans International Guitar Festival, Latin- American International Guitar Festival, Bangkok Guitar Society, and Hanoi International Guitar Festival, among others.

Building on the momentum of his numerous successes, An signed a recording contract with Naxos and released the album “Napoléon Coste: Guitar Works, Vol. 6” in June 2023. His performance received acclaim from the American Record Guide, which praised his “immaculate ornaments and cultivated sense of phrasing”. His debut album, entitled “Stay, My Beloved”, was included in the 2020 “Recordings of the Year” by Chicago Tribune and was praised by Classical Guitar Magazine as “an unforgettable journey to a world you’ve probably never been to” with “highly virtuosic passages that display what a gifted guitarist An Tran truly is”. Released on Frameworks Records (Sony Orchard) in April 2020, the album features all Vietnamese guitar music, portraying different elements of Vietnamese traditional music and original compositions by Vietnamese composers. It was described by the Guitar Foundation of America’s Soundboard Magazine as “deeply moving music at its best” and praised for “Tran’s sense of space, touch, and mood is exquisite”.
