About James Audet Classical Guitarist
James Audet is a classical guitarist who grew up in the Blue Mountains and has been playing for close to two decades. He studied at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music for his honours degree, spent three years at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg for his master's, then came back to the Conservatorium to complete a Doctor of Musical Arts. He lectures and tutors there on a casual basis and runs a private teaching studio in Redfern. For events, James plays solo and brings more than ten years of experience setting the mood at weddings, social gatherings, corporate evenings and small private concerts. A single classical guitar gives a gentle, elegant backdrop much like a string quartet, but with only one performer to book, which keeps the cost down. He has a set of programs already prepared for different kinds of occasions and is happy to work in specific pieces you ask for. Couples wanting something personal can have James write an original guitar arrangement of a song they love, which is charged as an extra and makes a thoughtful wedding gift or surprise. Beyond private bookings he performs as a soloist and with chamber groups in Sydney and overseas, including a concert series on the Cunard ship Queen Anne and a recital at the Melbourne Conservatorium. The University of Sydney has used him for an alumni event. Enquiries about a performance or lessons go through his website or by phone.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of events does James Audet play?
He performs at weddings, corporate functions, social events that need background music, and small private concerts, as well as public recitals as a soloist and chamber musician.
Can we request particular pieces for our wedding?
Yes. James has programs already prepared for different events and will fit in specific requests. He can also write an original arrangement of a song you choose for an additional fee.
Why choose a classical guitarist instead of a string quartet?
A solo classical guitar creates a similar soft, refined atmosphere to a quartet, but you are paying for one musician rather than four, so it is a more affordable option.
What training does James have?
He holds an honours degree and a Doctor of Musical Arts from the Sydney Conservatorium and a master's from the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, and he lectures and tutors at the Conservatorium.
Does James also give guitar lessons?
Yes. Alongside performing, he teaches classical guitar from his private studio in Redfern, and lesson enquiries can be made through the same contact details as bookings.
