Jorge Morel made his debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City in 1961 followed by appearances at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall and Town Hall in New York, Queen Elizabeth Hall and Wigniore Hall in London, National Hall in Dublin and Suntory Hall in Tokyo. His performances have been enthusiastically received in many countries including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, England, France, Japan, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Spain, Sweden and the United States.

     Jorge's musical career began in his native country of Argentina as his father taught him the rudiments of classical guitar at the age of seven. He went on to study advanced guitar at the internationally recognized Academy of Professor Pablo Escobar in Buenos Aires, and after graduating joined Mr. Escobar in radio and concert performances.

     Morel left Argentina to perform in Ecuador, Colombia and Cuba, where he recorded his first solo LP and was featured on a weekly TV show. Vladimir Bobri, President of the New York Classical Guitar Society, lent his recognition and support to Morel after hearing him perform in Puerto Rico. This led to concert engagements in California and Hawaii and Morel's eventual debut at Carnegie Hall. At this time, lie recorded his second LP for Decca Records and subsequently recorded three more solo albums.

     After moving to New York City, Morel performed nightly at the jazz lover's haven, The Village Gate, sharing the bill with jazz legends such as Erroll Garner, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Kenton and Herbie Mann. Around this time, Jorge met Chet Atkins and established what was to grow into a lifelong friendship. Chet Atkins demonstrated his admiration for Morel in a very tangible way when lie helped to arrange for the recording of Jorge's sixth solo album with RCA Victor. Mr. Morel was represented by Columbia Artists Management for a total of eight years throughout the 1970's and toured all of North American and Canada performing approximately 70 concerts per year.

     Morel continued to solidify his reputation as an outstanding artist and composer with the premiere of Suite Del Sur, a concerto for guitar and orchestra, which he performed as soloist with The Los Angeles Philharmonic under the direction of Zubin Metha. He continued his study of composition for a number of years with the late Rudy Schramm, respected teacher, author-columnist and arranger, whose enthusiastic recommendation of Morel led to an immediate professorship at prestigious Lebenan College.

     Represented by Lycits Music, Inc. and a long-standing member of ASCAP, Morel has composed more than sixty original works. Recent compositions include Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra, Romantico Y Allegro Ritmico, Francesca's Waltz and two duets entitled Una Estampa Brasilera And A Rhapsody For Two Brothers.
