BIO -Raised in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Randy Hathaway is from Yakima, Washington. He has been a performer, teacher, administrator, composer, arranger and producer. Within Randy's compositions, the inherent sceneries of North America speak clearly through his use of tonality, while musical languages of European and Latin origins are respectfully echoed. The encompassing of these elements can be heard on Mr. Hathaway’s 2017 double CD release, Classical Guitar In America. Randy attended Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle WA where he holds a Bachelors of Music in performance. Following graduation, he performed and arranged music with two chamber ensembles. Composition seamlessly spun out of these experiences. Randy’s first composition was performed live on the radio just two months after completion. That piece then made its way to the Minneapolis Guitar Quartet for multiple performances. Soon after, a colleague performed Randy's first solo guitar work in Japan to an enthusiastic reception. Universities and colleges have since invited Mr. Hathaway to coach faculty and students in performance of his compositions and arrangements.
