today" is how one critic described the sensational
American guitarist, Douglas Niedt (pronounced "neet").
love of fresh, diverse, and emotionally engaging
repertoire performed with incredible energy, technical
perfection, and most of all, emotional depth.
REPERTOIRE and PRESENTATION
His concerts include music not only from the traditional
classical repertoire, but also film music, jazz, Celtic,
boogie, and American theater music.
Besides his unique repertoire, which includes his one-of-
a-kind arrangements for classic guitar of music by
Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck, Secret
Garden, Tommy Emmanuel, and Richard Rodgers,
Douglas has a singular style of presentation for a
classically trained artist. During the course of the concert,
in an informal manner, he often includes commentary,
information, and anecdotes about the guitar, its music,
and himself. His striking ability to communicate with his
audience makes his performances seem more like an
intimate gathering of friends than a recital for strangers.
BACKGROUND
A native of St. Louis, now living in Kansas City, Mr. Niedt
began his study of the guitar at the age of seven with his
father, an amateur guitarist. Douglas’ interest in music
was stimulated by his father’s encouragement to listen to
and explore the entire spectrum of music. By the time he
was fourteen, he had received first prize awards in
national competitions sponsored by the American Guild
of Music. International recognition and acclaim followed
his first prize sweep at the age of seventeen of the Chet
Atkins International Guitar Competition in which three
hundred guitarists were entered from around the world.
Since then, Douglas has polished his playing to gem-like
brilliance through studies at the Juilliard School, the
Segovia Master Classes in Spain, and with masters
Pepe Romero, Narciso Yepes, Christopher Parkening,
Jorge Morel, and Oscar Ghiglia.
ACCLAIM
At the age of twenty-one Douglas made his New York
debut in Carnegie Recital Hall. This successful debut
demanded three return appearances in the same hall the
following years. He has since appeared before
enthusiastic audiences across the country prompting one
critic to write, “Mr. Niedt is not only a brilliant master of
his instrument, but a performer of great sensitivity; the
wealth of sound and the dynamic finesse which he elicits
from the guitar promise to make him a worthy companion
of the few great guitarists such as Andres Segovia and
Julian Bream.”
CDs, DVD, BOOKS
His fabulous CD, Pure Magic, received a rave review in
England’s Classical Guitar Magazine and led to his
appearance on the cover of Fingerstyle Guitar magazine
the following year. His Christmas CD is titled In
Heavenly Peace. His performance video, Douglas
Niedt--American Virtuoso, was released by Bransong
Music. Many of his arrangements are published in two
music folios, Virtuoso Visions and Classic Guitar
Artistry.
His new book is titled How to Make a Million Dollars
Playing the Guitar. It is a no-nonsense guitarist's guide
to making a good living in the music business while also
achieving personal fulfillment.
All items are available for purchase on Douglas’ official
website, www.DouglasNiedt.com.
TEACHING
Recognized for his excellence in teaching, he is head of
the guitar program of the Conservatory of Music and
Dance, University of Missouri at Kansas City.
