The award-winning guitarist Jonas Egholm (1997, Danmark) started playing the guitar at age seven, and by the time he was ten he went on his first concert tour around Denmark and Germany in connection with being awarded the 1st prize in the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s competition for young musicians. He has attained wide international recognition and performed in several countries in Europe including Germany, Sweden, France, Spain, as well as the Faroe Islands, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro Hungary, China and Japan. He has performed as a soloist with the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra, South Denmark Philharmonic Orchestra, Vejle Symphony Orchestra and Fredericia City Orchestra. In 2020 he won the first prize in the International Guitar Competition José Tomás Villa de Petrer, whereafter he is performing concerts in both Spain, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico as well as recording his new CD, Guitar Recital, published on all streaming services as of May 2022.
Jonas has finished his Bacherol and Master’s degree on the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen, Denmark with highest marks, and is now completing the soloist programme for the most talented students of this Academy. He owes his significant musical achievements mostly to his guitar professor Jesper Sivebæk.
In 2020-2021, he studied in “Máster en Interpretación de Guitarra” in Alicante, Spain under some of the world’s leading guitarists (David Russell, Ricardo Gallén, Hopkinson Smith, Lukasz Kuropaczewski, Tilman Hoppstock, Roberto Aussel, Ignacio Rodés and others), where he graduated with highest marks and Honours.
Other than being a concert-guitarist, Jonas spends much of his time teaching students of all ages.
