Background:
Described by Acoustic Guitar Magazine as "an exceptional nylon string guitarist" and by NPR as "mesmerizing and hypnotic", Mir Ali has established himself as a leading guitar virtuoso of his generation. He won his first guitar competition at the age of thirteen and has been raising eyebrows of audiences and music critics around the globe ever since.
In the last two concert seasons he has toured Europe, Asia, Canada and the United States and has performed at the opening ceremonies of the Mets baseball series before a crowd of five thousand people at Shea Stadium in New York City.
His last two compact discs have received critical acclaim. David Beck of San Jose Mercury referred to them as "an absolute joy"
Mir has served on the guitar faculty of the University of Akron in Akron, Ohio and is the Director of the Rantucci International Guitar Competition and Festival. He uses D’addario strings, Holtier, Brune and LoPrinzi guitars and publishes for Mel Bay Publications.
Mir is represented by Performing Arts Management by special arrangement with Sandra Wicinski and Jaffar Shah Management of New York.
