Thibault Cauvin is one of the most talented, charismatic and sought-after guitarists in the world today. Having embarked on a endless tour ten years ago, taking him to more than one hundred twenty countries, he continues to perform as soloist on the most prestigious stages: New York Carnegie Hall, Shanghai Opera, Moscow Tchaikowski Hall, London Wigmore Hall, Hong Kong Opera, Paris Théâtre des Champs Elysées, Munich Geistag, among others.

This week he released his 7th album "Le voyage d'Albéniz". This recording follows his critically acclaimed "Danse avec Scarlatti", album which is now available in many countries as well as in several compilations "best of 2013".

Coming from a family of musicians, Thibault began to learn the guitar with his father, at the age of six. After a brilliant education at the conservatories of Bordeaux and Paris, Thibault entered the international competitions circuit. At the age of twenty, he was the first and only guitarist worldwide to win thirteen international first prizes. This unique accomplishment, at such a young age, made his "endless tour" started, which counts today over 1000 concerts.
