Liz Hogg is a guitarist and composer/songwriter from Brooklyn, NY. Hogg has been described as possessing “energy, expressive dynamics and phrasing” (American Record Guide), “fantastic work” (Classical Guitar Magazine) and “playing with a more distinctive and original approach that includes quickly-strummed chords, chiming arpeggios, and rapid-fire picking” (Geoff Cabin). Her playing has been further characterized as “strong, precise, and powerful” (Bushwick Daily), “radiating in its own light” (New Noise Magazine), carrying “élan and fine precision” (Fanfare), and “displaying a confrontational spectrum of emotions” (Music & Riots).
As both a classical guitarist and performer of her original music, Hogg has toured thirteen countries and thirteen US states playing numerous festivals and concert halls, including SXSW, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Brookfield Place, as well as Portugal’s Casa da Música and Mexico’s Tlaqná Concert Hall. She has received grants from Chamber Music America, Citizens Committee for New York City, Queens College and Mannes College and won awards including the Mannes School of Music Dean’s Award and the Maurice Kagan Memorial Scholarship Award for Excellence in an Orchestral Instrument.
