Hamish Goodhue returns to the Glebe town hall to perform a recital of captivating classical guitar music. With dramatic music from 19th Century Austria through to the explosive energy of late 20th Century America, this is a diverse programme that showcases the excellence of the classical guitar!

Completing a Bachelor of Music with First Class Honours in 2023 with Dr. Jane Curry at the New Zealand School of Music, Hamish’s playing has been reviewed as ‘Masterly’ with significant achievements including the first prize in the Sydney Eisteddfod Any Age Classical Guitar competition (2026), first prize at the Taranaki Concerto and Aria Competition (2024), following from which he performed Joaquin Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez with the Taranaki Symphony Orchestra, the $10,000 first prize at the Muriel May Scholarship Competition (2018), first prize in the youth category of the New Zealand International Biennial Classical Guitar competition (2018) winning a New Zealand made Classical Guitar by Rod Capper, and the SOUNZ prize for the best performance of a New Zealand composition at the New Zealand International Biennial Classical Guitar competition (2022). The SOUNZ prize included a professional recording of the work which can be found through his YouTube alongside other recordings. In 2024, Hamish was awarded the New Zealand Aspiring Guitarist position for the Taranaki Classical Guitar Summer School where he performed as a featured artist.

Currently based in Sydney, Hamish is in demand as a soloist and chamber musician. Hamish has performed in a wide range of ensembles including Duo Poeneke, Wollemi Chamber Society, Orchestra Wellington and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

As well as an award-winning guitarist, Hamish is well versed in the world of percussion, playing for ensembles and orchestras at a community and professional level, such as the Royal New Zealand Air Force Band. Hamish has represented New Zealand as a percussionist in the National Youth Orchestra, and the National Youth Brass Band where he was principal percussionist from 2019 until 2022.
