Guest Artist - Dr. David Cahueque

Dr. David Cahueque is active throughout the southern California area, dividing his time between performing and teaching. He is currently on the music faculty at Cal State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Chapman University, and Mt. San Antonio Community College.

Dr. Cahueque received his education locally as well, earning the Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the Claremont Graduate University, the Master of Arts from the University of California, Riverside, and the Bachelor of Arts from Cal State Polytechnic University, Pomona.

He is equally comfortable on the stage as a soloist, accompanist, and in chamber ensembles. He has appeared as soloist with the U.C. Riverside Orchestra, where he had his first opportunity to play Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjue, and as guest accompanist for the Cal Poly Pomona Chamber Singers, the Mt. San Antonio College Chamber Singers, the Claremont Chorale and the South Bay Master Chorale. Although Dr. Cahueque has an affinity for the music of 20th Century Spanish-influenced composers, his repertoire covers the literature from all eras, early to modern. He has given premiers of new works for the National Association of Composers USA (NACUSA), one written specifically for him titled Concerto for Guitar and Synthesis.

Dr. Cahueque is also on the Board of Directors for the Orange County Guitar Circle; a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting an awareness and love of the classical guitar.
