A finalist and semi-finalist in several international guitar competitions, most notably, the 2002 Music Teachers National Association Solo Competition and the 1994 National Solo Competition of the American String Teachers Association in Cincinnati, Ohio, David Solis Olson is considered to be among the finest classical guitarists of his generation. Mr. Olson has appeared as solo and chamber recitalist in concerts and festivals throughout the United States and in Canada, France and Germany.

Mr. Olson began guitar study at age 12 and has been the recipient of numerous scholarships and accolades.

Mr. Olson has performed in masterclasses for such classical guitar luminaries as Roland Dyens, Angel Romero, Manuel Barrueco and David Russell and his primary teachers include Nicholas Goluses, Ricardo Cobo and James Ryan.
As an advocate for innovative and diverse solo and ensemble programming for the classical guitar, Mr. Olsons recitals feature repertoire ranging in style and character from Bach lute works to Argentinean tangos.
