After relocating to the United States, Pepe, together with his father and brothers, helped establish the Romeros Quartet as the leading guitar ensemble in the world.
As a soloist, Romero has performed with nearly every major orchestra, and in virtually every major hall in Europe and the Americas. He is the pre-eminent Spanish guitar virtuoso, and one of the most popular concert artists on his instrument.
Romero's repertory spans the entire literature for the guitar. In addition, his stunning technique and exciting bravura have inspired many composers, including Joaquin Rodrigo, Federic Moreno Torroba, Lorenzo Palomo, and his father Celdonio Romero, to write major works for him.
Pepe has made more than fifty recordings, among which are over twenty concertos with the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields conducted by Sir Neville Marriner and Iona Brown, as well as collaborations with artists such as the renowned ensemble I Musici, flamenco singer Chano Lobato, and dancers Paco Romero and María Magdalena.
Pepe Romero holds an honorary doctorate in music from the University of Victoria, British Columbia. In June of 1996, he received the “Premio Andalucia de Música,” the highest recognition given by his native land for his contribution to the arts.
