I am a classical guitarist and graduate of the University of Ottawa's prestigious Master of Music program. I have over ten years of performing experience, and have been playing professional events since 2012.
As a performer, I can tailor my repertoire to fit whichever style(s) you're looking for, with a focus on classical, jazz, pop, and South American styles.
NB - I am an instrumental performer, and can sing one or two songs if necessary. Unless it has been discussed in advance, I will not be singing.
My rates are:
$150/hr. (3 hr. +)
$200/hr. (1-2 hrs)
(Minimum of 30 min.)
I will include an additional travel fee for events over 50km from Ottawa.

Having Ben perform at our corporate cocktail reception/dinner was exactly what we needed! It made the environment welcoming and relaxing for our attendees to network and enjoy themselves! Very beautiful music and he always had a smile on his face! Will definitely reach out to him if we're back in the area - highly recommend!
Response from Ben Borg - guitar performer/teacher:
Thank you very much for your review Victoria! It was a pleasure working with you and your group. I'm looking forward to the next time.
Ben was professional, the material was well rehearsed, and his playing was perfect. He was very easy to communicate with throughout the planning phase of the wedding. We could not have had a better experience with him, he elevated our wedding ceremony to a degree of class we had not imagined. Thank you Ben!
Hiring Ben to play classical guitar for my
Wedding was the best decision we could have made. We communicated wishes and expectations beforehand and the night went beautifully! Ben is amazing at what he does and we were so lucky to have him.
Ben was so easy to work with and provided many examples of songs for the procession and made it really easy. He p[provided a great backdrop for our cocktail party and procession!
Thanks Ben!!
We had a great time with his performance
My company booked Mr. Borg for our Christmas party and everyone absolutely loved his guitar playing. Will definitely keep him in mind for future gatherings.

Mostly instrumental guitar music, with the occasional sung song at the client's request.
Originally from Barrie, ON, I've been a classical guitarist for approximately 13 years. I have completed an advanced diploma in Guitar Performance from Cambrian College in Sudbury, a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Ottawa, and recently, I finished a Master of Music degree in Guitar Performance at uOttawa.
I have a battery-powered amplifier that would need electricity if the event exceeds 5 hours. A gazebo/tent/tree covering is appreciated for potential rain/intense sun scenarios.

Gordon E. said “Bill showed up early, played a wonderful jazz set throughout our dinner and then slowly took it up to a fevered pitch of dancing and singalongs! He stayed…”
Scotty S. said “Gentleman. Loves his craft. Entertaining. Wish he had a few more tracks to dance to for my Mother. Still great!”
Allen Z. said “We asked for music from the war, the 50's, 60's and 70's and that is exactly what they delivered!! The sound quality, volume and commentary…”
