لیلی افشار یکی از دوازده نوازنده بین‌المللی گیتار بود که برای نواختن حضور آندرس در کلاسهای پیشرفته وی، در "دانشگاه کالیفرنیای جنوبی" انتخاب شد . Her sixth CD release, “Musica da Camera,” is her first recording of chamber music for the guitar and includes the world premiere of Vladislav Uspenky’s Musical Sketches on Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin, as well as more traditional works by Paganini and Piazzolla.

وی در مرکز آموزش هنرهای زیبای بناف (Bnaff) تحصیل کرده‌است. Her first recording, “24 Caprichos de Goya, Op. 195″ composed by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, was released in 1994. “Hemispheres” reached No. 7 on Billboard Magazine’s Chart of Top Classical Albums in 2006 and attracted the attention of National Public Radio’s Robert Siegel, who featured Afshar on “All Things Considered.” Next came “One Thousand and One Nights,” released in 2013 in Iran.

England’s Musical Opinion Magazine praised Afshar for her “fresh sense of programming” and “her ability to draw listeners onto the edge of their seats….” Embracing her Persian heritage, Afshar has not only performed her arrangements of Persian and Azerbaijani pieces; she has also fascinated concert goers with occasional live performance on the seh-tar, a traditional Persian instrument which evolved over many centuries into the guitar.

She received Diplomas of Merit from the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy, and was selected to play for Andrés Segovia in his master classes held at the University of Southern California.

Afshar’s collaborations with international composers have resulted in premieres of new works by Reza Vali, Garry Eister, Gerard Drozd, Loris Chobanian, Arne Mellnas, Kamran Ince, Barbara Kolb, Marilyn Ziffrin, David Kechley, and Salvador Brotons.

Currently, Afshar is head of the University of Memphis guitar programme, where she received the 2000 Board of Visitors Eminent Faculty Award.

لیلی افشار متولد تهران، آمریکایی ایرانی تبار، و از نوازندگان بزرگ گیتار کلاسیک در جهان است.

Born in Iran to a musical family, she has drawn from Persian and Azerbaijani folk music traditions to create arrangements of works for the classical guitar which are as rich and beautiful as a Persian miniature. She also produced a DVD entitled “Virtuoso Guitar” featuring live performances and an interview with Mel Bay. As a performing guitarist, she has won a top prize in the Guitar Foundation of America Competition, Grand Prize in the Aspen Music Festival Guitar Competition, the Orville H.

Gibson Award for Best Female Classical Guitarist, and a National Endowment for the Arts Recording Award, among others, and she was chosen as an “Artistic Ambassador” to Africa for the United States Information Agency.

With her passion for going beyond the traditional guitar repertoire, contemporary classical composers have sought after her for creative collaborations resulting in notable world premieres, including works by Carlo Domeniconi, John Baur, Reza Vali, Garry Eister, Gerard Drozd, Loris Chobanian, Arne Mellnas, Kamran Ince, Barbara Kolb, Marilyn Ziffrin, David Kechley, and Salvador Brotons.

She told her father she loved the guitar; the next day he presented her with her first instrument and arranged for lessons. She arranged for guitar and published Five Popular Persian Ballads with Mel Bay, and is presently creating a new collection of guitar arrangements of traditional Persian and Azerbaijani songs.

Notable awards also include a top Prize in the Guitar Foundation of America Competition and Grand Prize in the Aspen Music Festival Guitar Competition, among others. Both are released with Guitarcontrol.com. At Florida State University she studied with the renowned Bruce Holzman and became the first woman in the world to be awarded the degree of Doctor of Music in guitar performance.

POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION AND ACHEVEMENTS

She continued her studies with summer classes at the Banff Centre for Fine Arts and the Aspen Music Festival, and received scholarships for three more summers of advanced training at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy, all with the famed Oscar Ghiglia, for which Afshar received Diplomas of Merit.

Collaborations with international composers have resulted in world premieres of works by Carlo Domeniconi, Reza Vali, Garry Eister, Gerard Drozd, Loris Chobanian, Arne Mellnas, Kamran Ince, Barbara Kolb, Marilyn Ziffrin, David Kechley, and Salvador Brotons. Her sixth CD, “Musica da Camera,” released worldwide in October 2013, demonstrates the depth and range of a singularly accomplished artist in her prime.

In 2011 she was honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award from The Boston Conservatory. Her prodigious skill and love of music eventually led her to The Boston Conservatory, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in music, and to The New England Conservatory, where she received her Master of Music. آن موقع بود که پس از این کلاس ماتسرو سگویا در مصاحبه ای که در اخبار شامگاهی "ان بی سی" حضور یافت در خصوص افشار پیش بینی کرد: او روزی به نوازنده ای معروفی تبدیل خواهد شد.
