Concerts
As a chamber music performer and solist, Bernard Hebb has been very active over the
years, his preference being in the area of chamber music. His partiality to perform in
partnership with other instruments, goes back to the time when he played electric guitar in
jazz and dance ensembles. Since then, his classic guitar performing endeavors have
reached into many fields of chamber music, the most interesting being in the duet area
either with oboe, flute or duo guitar and as a result of the these chamber music
collaborations, many interesting concert tours and recordings have emerged.
