Hope Cramsie has featured regularly in the International Guitar Foundation’s Young Artist Platform concert series, including a performance at Kings Place during the London Guitar Festival, 2021.

She writes ‘I have chosen to centre this programme around the music of Catalan composer Federico Mompou, whose work is more nostalgic and subtle than the Spanish guitar we are so familiar with. This music lends itself so well to the guitar, showcasing it as instrument of immense lyricism and sensitivity.’
