Carles Trepat (born 1960) is a Spanish Catalan classical guitarist. He has won several international prizes, including the "Premio Tárrega" in the "Certamen Internacional Francisco Tárrega de Benicásim". In July 2014, he was awarded with the "Honorific Prize José Tomás" in Petrer.[1]

Trepat[2] was born in Lérida (Spain) in 1960, where he started studying guitar when he was thirteen with Jordi Montagut. In 1976, he attended the last classical guitar course given by Emilio Pujol who was a student of Francisco Tárrega. Some of his other teachers were José Tomás, Alberto Ponce, Eduardo Sainz de la Maza and Rafael Andia.

Trepat was an assistant professor of José Tomás and he usually plays with historical guitars made by luthiers like Antonio Torres,[3] Joseph Pagés, Santos Hernández, Hermanos Conde or modern guitars build by José Luis Romanillos and Daniel Bernaert. Some of his latest performances were given with real gut and silk strings on his 1892 Antonio Torres guitar.[4]

He is credited for discovering and playing music of Miguel García -Padre Basilio-,[5] who was Dionisio Aguado's teacher. Some of his CD recordings include music by Federico Mompou, Manuel Quiroga, Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados, Francisco Tárrega, Julián Arcas, Antonio José and Miguel Llobet among others. [6]
