Classical guitarist, composer, and new music researcher
Luke has been performing classical guitar for over a decade and composing for half that time. He continues to research into microtonality, and where microtonality fits into contemporary music composing. His arrangements have been published by Guitar Chamber Music Press, and his research has been published in Salzburg, Austria by Mackingerverlag.

"Hollow" by Luke Anthony Villavicencio, premiered on 10/28/2024 at Rosch Recital Hall. Performed by Luke Villavicencio (left) and Maxwell Baxter (right).
This piece explores the many definitions/manifestations of the word "hollow." It was inspired by the feeling that one may get while looking deep into a forest from a clearing—imagining the shaded horrors, or mossy-green wonders, that lurk within.
A full arrangement of Franz Shubert's Erlkonig. Performed by the Fredonia Guitar Quartet; Rayne Mescallado, Hailey Roca, Dominic Orlando, Luke Villavicencio.

Degradation demonstrates the relationship between three guitars, each tuned to a different tonal standard. The ensemble is completed by a viola and bass clarinet which move between the tonally askew guitars.
I've been playing the classical guitar for around 12 years and have performed in recital halls and retirement homes across NY state. I keep a rotating 30 minute set of classical pieces for gigging at coffee houses, retirement homes, community centers, etc. If your business is looking for something like this, text me at (516) 424-3501.
Do you want a unique piece written for an upcoming performance or event? Get in touch with me, and we can work out the details (pricing is negotiable). I have experience writing for all instruments and voices, but specialize in string instruments.

Do you have a piece that you absolutely love, but there isn't a version of it for your instrument? Is there a recording that you can't stop listening to, but there is not sheet music available? Reach out to me and I can transcribe or arrange it for you!
Transcriptions - $50
Arrangements - $75 -$125 (depending on length and ensemble)
I have been teaching guitar lessons via Google Meet for over 2 years and can teach beginners all the way up to college level. If the student is in NY state, I also prepare them for NYSSMA each year so that they get experience performing for others! I use all original materials and prioritize music literacy while still entertaining the musical interests of my students. Classical, jazz, and folk values are all interwoven with music composition to get my students to be creative and develop a worldly sense of music.
30-45 minute lessons go for $40 a lesson. Email me at lukev5504@gmail.com to schedule or inquire!
Do you have questions, or collaborate on a new piece? Reach out, and let's make music happen.
