Electric Guitarists for Hire in Australia

I, Simon Smith am Head of Music at Barker College, Hornsby NSW Australia. It is my pleasure to recommend Umberto for a position with Cirque du Soleil. I appointed Umberto as guitarist for Barker College’s musical production of Matilda in November 2024 after he came highly recommended by a trusted musical colleague. His work exceeded all expectations. The nature of our production required immense adaptability and musical versatility. Umberto demonstrated exceptional professionalism, learning complex parts by ear, skillfully adjusting musical scores, and consistently bringing all necessary equipment to each rehearsal and performance. His cooperative and supportive approach greatly enhanced the experience for our young student musicians. Umberto’s diligence, enthusiasm, and positive energy earned him the respect of both the staff and students involved in the production. His inspiring work ethic and commitment to excellence elevated the overall standard of the show and made a lasting i ...mpression on everyone who worked with him. I am confident that Umberto would be a valuable asset to any musical ensemble. His adaptability, technical skill, and professional demeanor make him an ideal fit for the world-class demands of Cirque du Soleil. Please feel free to contact me if you require further information.
