This spring, Tom Ollendorff embarks on a world tour celebrating the release of his critically
acclaimed third album, Where in the World. Best known for his singular guitar voice, melodic
imagination, and emotional clarity, Ollendorff has quickly established himself as one of the most
compelling young artists of his generation.
Described by Jazz Views as “an album that hits the sweet spot of being both readily accessible and
offering depths that reveal something new with each listen,” the music has resonated strongly with
audiences and critics alike. Tom will be performing with two of the world’s most sought-after
musicians Francesco Ciniglio on drums and Will Sach on bass.
Widely recognised for his highly distinctive sound, Tom blends virtuosic technique with a
sophisticated harmonic language, nuance, and sensitivity. In 2022, he published Etudes, his first
collection of works for solo guitar, with Faber Music. The book has since sold internationally across
Europe, Asia, Australasia, and North America, further cementing his reputation within the global
guitar community.
As a performer, Tom has collaborated with many leading international artists, including Ari Hoenig,
Bill McHenry, Geoff Simkins, Aaron Parks, Huw Warren, Tim Garland, Nitai Hershkovits and Ben
Wendel.
Alongside his performing career, Tom is currently a visiting tutor at the Royal Welsh College of
Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music has been a guest tutor at leading institutions
worldwide, including the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Nanjing University, Bahçeşehir
University Istanbul, and Leeds Conservatoire.
