Heike matthiesen biography of albert

RIP

The family has announced the death last night of the German classical guitarist Heike Matthiesen.

Heike was 59 and had been battling cancer for five years. She is survived by her mother and sister.

Many of us knew her as one of the sweetest, most benign and positive communicators on social media.

After years of study with Pepe Romero, Heike put a friendly new face on the fretful work of guitar playing, often in contemporary music.

She will be sorely missed.
