Nicholas Goluses’ concert tours as soloist, with orchestra, and as chamber musician have taken him across North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and the Far East to critical acclaim. “Nicholas Goluses reached the highest levels of instrumental virtuosity,” says Generalanzeiber (Bonn, Germany), while Twentieth Century Guitar writes, “Nicholas Goluses is a true American master,” and the Star-Ledger calls him “dazzling.”

He has recorded extensively for NAXOS, Albany, BMG and Linn, and his forthcoming album, Across the Horizon, will be released later this year on Parma. “Goluses is masterly, a musician’s musician,” writes American Record Guide. Committed to performing new music for the guitar, Goluses has given world première performances of more than 100 works. His 2023-24 season has been highlighted by a performance and premiere recording of a new concerto by Stephen Goss in Glasgow, Scotland; a Fulbright Residency in Ibagué, Colombia; and festival residencies in Colima, Mexico and Malibu, California.  

Goluses is Professor of Guitar as well as the founder and director of guitar programs at the Eastman School of Music, where he is the recipient of the Eisenhart Award for Excellence in Teaching. Additionally, he was the inaugural Andrés Segovia Professor at Manhattan School of Music, where he received the Doctor of Musical Arts degree, the Pablo Casals Award for Musical Accomplishment and Human Endeavor, the Faculty Award of Distinguished Merit, and the Centennial Distinguished Alumni Award.  His students have won major competitions and professorships throughout the world.  He is a Fulbright International Specialist Professor and serves as the external examiner for doctoral dissertations throughout the British Isles.  He has been a voting member of The Recording Academy (Grammy®) since 2012.
