Well, it’s officially 2012!  A new year, and a new website!  I’d like to thank Ann Gaffigan from Gazelle Incorporated for the new redesigned nickcutroneo.com.  While my website has been down for about 6 months now, it was worth the wait.  Many of the features from the previous website remain the same, the main thing to note is the integrated blog.  Ann did an amazing job of bringing everything from my previous blog to this website.  Along with the new look, I’ve got some new press shots and pictures from the year over in the Photo Gallery.

2012 brings many good things including more performance dates!  Recently, I’ve been hired at the Manchester Community College in Manchester, CT.  I am teaching a guitar class there, Introduction to Classical Guitar.  Also, 2012 bring the beginnings of the New England Guitar Quartet which is comprised of myself, Daniel Hartington, Jeremy Milligan, and Christopher Ladd, more one the group and future concert dates later.

Finally, the summer of 2012 will be a time of recording, first with Tempo del Fuoco as we record our CD of tango and tango-inspired music, then later in the summer I plan on recording a short CD of solo music.

In 2011 I started several different multi-part articles covering different topics including Practicing, and Left Hand Technique.  Due to things coming up over the course of the end of 2011, I was unable to finish these series, so I plan on concluding them as well as adding new topics to them.

This upcoming year proves to be a very busy one — stay tuned!
