An exclusive interview with Cauvin

8pm • September 14, 2007
Thibault Cauvin (France)

THIRD LIFE STUDIO
33 Union Square, Somerville MA 02143 (click for directions)

“He brims with youthful bravura but also understands the importance of restraint and control of color, Thibault Cauvin is decidedly on his way. He affirmed himself with a surprising maturity as a technically adroit and highly musical player who’s also blessed with open ears.”
- Los Angeles Times

At only 23, this soft-spoken Bordeaux native has already won thirteen international guitar competitions and placed in 23 others. Today he tours the world in solo and concerto engagements. Cauvin’s playing embodies a certain flare that owes to not only his youthful exuberance, but also to his original programming, which feature music from the Baroque to jazz standards and original compositions.
