Introducing Harry Stoddard, Guitar

Harry Stoddard is the newest member of Trio Seven, an ensemble of three guitarists who play on seven-stringed guitars.

Mr. Stoddard began playing music as a violist but at sixteen switched to electric guitar.

Always somewhat dissatisfied with the restrictions of the pick, he discovered through Matthew Grasso the clarity and independence that the 7-string classical guitar offers, and since 2010 has studied under him.

He has previously appeared with Trio Seven and Vox Musica. His solo transcriptions include Bach’s Sarabande in Bm and Ravel’s Prelude (1917).
