Samuel Moore, Flamenco Guitarist
Having recently been described as “A fantastic flamenco guitarist” by BBC Radio 3, Samuel Moore is fast establishing himself as one of the UK’s leading flamenco musicians. He continues to perform in venues across the UK, Europe
and North America, with past tours involving concerts in Café Universel in Paris, Rue-B in New York, The 100 Club in London, the Clothworkers Centenary Concert Hall in Leeds and Ely Cathedral.
Whilst Samuel is best known for his work as a solo artist, he is also a committed ensemble musician and frequently collaborates with other performers. Current collaborative projects include performing and recording alongside the classical
guitarist Michael Christian Durrant, and touring with a handpicked company of flamenco dancers and singers under the ensemble name Flamenco Puro.
Samuel initially learnt his craft by working with the recordings of great flamenco maestros of the past and producing transcriptions of their pieces. He later became a student of the world-renowned flamenco guitarist Juan Martín. This for four-
year period of study was funded by Help Musicians UK and contributed to the development of Samuel’s skills as a solo guitarist and accompanist. Always keen to learn, Samuel has also attended masterclasses with other leading flamenco artists, including the great Paco Peña.
When not on tour or recording, Samuel enjoys passing on his musical knowledge through teaching. Between 2012-2017 he held the permanent teaching post of Course Leader for Flamenco Guitar Studies at the Instituto de Cervantes, the Spanish government’s international institute for language and culture.
Furthermore, Samuel has also been invited to lead flamenco workshops and present guest lectures at The University of Cambridge and The University of Leeds. Samuel continues to work with a select number of private students in the
UK alongside presenting workshops for guitar societies and flamenco collectives.
