Brad Richter, Guitarist, Composer, Residency artist
Brad Richter  began teaching himself to play guitar and compose at age 12. At 19, having had no formal musical training, he was awarded the Presidential Scholarship to the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago where he studied with guitarist Paul Henry and began performing, composing, and eventually teaching professionally. After completing his undergraduate degrees in performance and composition, Brad accepted a scholarship to the Royal College of Music in London where he studied with Carlos Bonell. He became the first guitarist in the college’s history to win the coveted Thomas Morherr Prize for voice accompaniment, and went on to win the Royal College of Music’s guitar competition before completing his Master's degree and returning to the US to continue his concert career.

While at home in Tucson, Brad focuses on his work as Artistic Director of Lead Guitar, a not-for-profit he co-founded in 2006 which establishes guitar programs in schools around the US with large populations of at-risk-youth. In 2011/2012 Lead Guitar programs are teaching more than 1,150 kids to play the guitar and training more than 50 public school teachers to teach guitar.
