Picture of Dimitris DekavallasDescribed by Julian Bream as a ‘very exciting’ performer, Dimitris Dekavallas has always been considered one of the most talented guitarists of his age. 

Dimitris started playing the guitar at the age of six, and gave his first public performance at the National Concert Hall of Athens at the age of nine. After study at the National Conservatory of Athens, and private tuition with the Greek guitarist Alexios Froudarakis, in 2005 Dimitris won a scholarship to study at the Royal Academy of Music, and went on to win the Tebutt Exhibition Scholarship Prize. He has won many competitions and taken part in a number of masterclasses. He has played in workshops with John Williams and Sir Peter Maxwell Davies.
