European Guitar Teachers Association, annual conference 2007 "Jørgen Skogmo gave us a thrilling recital of brilliance and sophistication. It is rare to hear Henze's Drei Tentos at all, let alone so well performed as it was at Morley. Jørgen can conjure the most dazzeling technical wizardry and produce the most sublime pianissimo; here is a guitar player destined for greatness."
