He was a prizewinner at the Guitar Foundation of America International Youth Competition (2016), a 2-time AMEA State Soloist (2017, 2019), and a 2-time NAfME All-National Honor Ensemble guitarist (2018, 2019). In addition, he was the 2019 Senior Strings division winner in the Civic Orchestra of Tucson Young Artists’ Competition and the first classical guitarist to place in string since the competition was introduced. More recently, he was a finalist and prizewinner at the University of Arizona 20th Annual William Wolfe Award Recital (2020) and the University of Arizona Schaeffer Guitar Competition (2021).
Ryan has performed in “Trilogy: Award Winning Guitarists” at DesertView Performing Arts Center (2017), Tucson Guitar Society & Tohono Chul Park “Sundays in the Garden” Fall Concert Series (2018), and with the Arizona Symphonic Winds (2018). He was the first guitar soloist to perform with the Tucson Philharmonia Youth Orchestra at the Philharmonia Artists Spotlight Concert (2019). He also performed at the Civic Orchestra of Tucson Benefit Concert (2020).
