About William Jenks
Inspired by the legendary Andrés Segovia, William Jenks is one of the most celebrated
classical guitarists in the Northwest and continues to touch audiences with his beautiful interpretations of the classic guitar repertoire.
Highly sought after as a performer, Mr. Jenks has performed in a broad range of venues such as two solo performances in 2004 and 2005 at the Portland Wine
and Arts Festival, a performance on October 1, 2005 at the Newport Performing Arts Center and a performance in 2005 in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at Cycle Oregon. William performed for the re
-opening of the Elgin Opera House about which the Elgin Times wrote, “He put on a tremendous show, just himself along with the guitar. The music was soothing and entertaining and the crowd was very receptive to
his style of performance.”
Other performances include a guest artist performance with the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, being selected to perform in a special reception for Mayor Vera Katz
as well as opening the 2006/2007 Portland Classic Guitar Concert Series which was broadcast on public access television.
His musical journey began at the tender age of six when he began performing choral music, which culminated in a magical performance of Magnificat under the world
-renowned composer and maestro John Rutter at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York. William began studying classical guitar at age 23 with Ken Johnson at Colorado Christian University where he graduated
magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree. William has also studied with David Franzen, Bryan Johanson, and Scott Kritzer and performed in the master classes of world-renowned classical guitarists
Christopher Parkening, Scott Tennant and Ricardo Iznaola.
In addition to his performing career, William Jenks is also a highly acclaimed guitar instructor. He recently
founded Oregon’s only exclusive classical guitar teaching studio and guitar shop known as Portland Classic Guitar where he holds regular student recitals and hosts Portland’s
only Classical Guitar Concert series. He and his staff teach hundreds of beginning to advanced students ranging in ages from 5 to 75.
Mr. Jenks is also on staff as an adjunct faculty instructor at Portland Community College where some of William’s students have gone on to pursue a career in music.
William is available for lessons, concerts, weddings and corporate events and currently resides in Portland, Oregon with his wife Cassandra and two sons Zach and Grant.
