Guitar Festival of Great Britain [5 appearances] “Stanley Yates is an impeccable musician: a
wonderful combination of effortless technique, perceptive scholarship and
zealous performance. He has a fearless musical curiosity both in his concert
repertoire, published arrangements and transcriptions. I can think of no
better classical guitarist. BRAVO Stanley!” Brendan
McCormack Fort
Worth Classic Guitar Society International Concert Series “Stanley Yates is one of the finest artists we’ve
presented at the Fort Worth Guitar Society. His visit here was a highlight
or our 2000-2001 season. He has a very personable rapport with the audience
and we look forward to having him here again. Christopher

recital by master of the
instrument...what is our loss is America's gain. We
look forward
to your return
Stanley!” Brian Penny Rantucci International Guitar Festival "We have presented Stanley Yates in concerts and
masterclasses numerous times. His concerts are always extremely well
attended. His masterclasses are the first to reach maximum capacity; we have
even had to offer multiple sessions to meet the demand. He is a world-class
guitar personality and it has been an honor to present him year after
year." Mir

Foundation of America Inter-national Guitar Festival, Charleston / Piccolo
Spoleto “I have had the pleasure to present Stanley Yates
in concert on several occasions. I find his playing to be impeccable,
combining technical virtuosity with very refined and sensitive phrasing. His
programming is eclectic and well thought out. His performances at the
Piccolo Spoleto festival and the Guitar Foundation of America festival were
extremely well received and both concerts were rewarded with standing
ovations further demonstrating the unique rapport Stanley has with his
audience. I look forward to presenting him again in the near future. ” Oberlin
Conservatory / Akron International Guitar Series "Mr. Yates is a performer of unusual subtlety.
His concerts are deeply felt and richly musical. He possesses a style of
playing that is unique and strangely beguiling. His guitaristic abilities
feature bristling clarity, stunning displays of virtuosity and colorful,
witty and original programming. He is an artist who gets asked back!" Stephen
