Belgian guitarist Dr. Sam Desmet earned a reputation in the late 2000s for performing and
recording a mix of works from well-established composers with lesser-known or contemporary
repertoire. Desmet often branches out by collaborating with different artists and art forms such
as dance, painting, architecture, animation, film, and poetry. Sam performed as a soloist and
chamber musician in Asia, Europe, and throughout the US.
Desmet recorded a series of guitar studies which is, along with ongoing releases ranging from film music to folk song arrangements, now available on all streaming platforms.
In addition to performing and recording, Sam often publishes original works, arrangements, and
critical editions of music scores available on his website or through international publishers such
as Productions d’Oz and Edizioni Berben / Curzi.
