Ecuadorian-born American guitarist Anton Machleder serves as Adjunct Assistant Professor of Guitar at Houghton University's Greatbatch School of Music, with additional teaching roles at Alfred University and Finger Lakes Community College. He directs Red Creek Recording Studios in Rochester, NY, and maintains an active performing career featuring solo recitals and chamber music concerts across the United States since his 1992 Carnegie Hall debut as Artists International Competition winner.
His academic foundation includes a DMA in guitar and music literature from the Eastman School of Music under Nicholas Goluses, with prior studies under Ronald Purcell and Manuel Barrueco.
Machleder's research centers on Latin American classical guitar traditions, particularly Cuban repertoire and Mexican composer Manuel Ponce's works. His scholarly contributions appear in American String Teacher, Ex tempore, and Soundboard journals, complemented by lectures for the College Music Society and master classes at Brooklyn College and Oberlin College focusing on performance techniques and improvisation.
Key recognitions include:
- Artists International Competition victory enabling Carnegie Hall debut
- D’Addario Strings fellowship supporting artistic development
- Bowdoin Festival fellowship for chamber music excellence
- Yale’s Norfolk Summer Festival fellowship for advanced study
His professional activities integrate performance, scholarship, and studio direction at Red Creek Recording Studios, where his critically acclaimed recordings—praised by Guitar Player Magazine for "crisp upper-register work, sumo-weight bass tones, and remarkable dynamic control"—are produced under the La Tapa Recordings label.
