Traces

From the outset of his career, William Beauvais has worked with some of the finest Canadian musicians. He combines mastery of his instrument with a love for “music so new it hasn’t even been written yet.” He continues to explore new vistas for the guitar, working with actors, poets, choreographers and jazz musicians.

“Traces brings together a collection of works that celebrate the soul of the classical guitar. I have spent considerable time with all the composers represented here, collaborating, discussing and sharing musical viewpoints. Traces of Hope, Dawn Dance 2 and Interludio function as a prelude, which sets the mood for the remaining works.” -William Beauvais
