Michael Ibsen

Michael Ibsen is a Canadian classical guitarist who performs a variety of music, re-imagining historic and new works on the instrument. He is one half of Duo Tinúviel with soprano Jessica Türje, who work to share and explore the repertoire for voice and guitar. He is also in the Made in Canada Duo with guitarist Nathan Bredeson, in which they perform exclusively new Canadian music, often commissioned by their duo. Michael fell in love with the classical guitar because of the variety of colours and textures available in its rich repertoire, and that’s what he strives to share with audiences around the world. Michael aims to expand the repertoire for the classical guitar, both through transcription and commissioning new music, and actively works with living composers. He holds a masters in guitar performance from both Conservatorium Maastricht (studying under Carlo Marchione) and the University of British Columbia (studying under Dr. Daniel Bolshoy). Michael has performed as a soloist and chamber instrumentalist across Canada, the northwestern United States, Spain, and the Netherlands. He has been a concerto soloist with the Ambrose Chamber Orchestra and the Calgary Arts Orchestra, and has performed chamber music alongside artists such as Jonathan Crow and Joseph Johnson.
