Behind the strings
I'm Clara, a classically trained guitarist based in South Florida. I perform concerts, luxury events, and private celebrations across the region, bringing depth, elegance, and expressive musical storytelling to every stage.
Alongside performing, I teach dedicated students, helping them build confidence, refine technique, and find joy in the music they love. I believe classical guitar is both disciplined craft and living art, and I aim to bring that balance to every lesson and performance.
With nearly two decades of dedication to my craft, I offer performances rooted in technical precision, expressive interpretation, and heartfelt artistry, from intimate to formal settings.
