A solo guitarist, chamber musician and teacher, Sanders has performed both nationally and internationally.
His performances have included the Sitka Summer Music Festival, Kapalua Music Festival of Hawaii, Arrowhead Bach Festival and solo appearances with numerous orchestras, including the Illinois Chamber Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra of Santa Fe, Modesto Symphony, Orange County Chamber Orchestra and South Coast Symphony.
Recently, he was featured as a soloist with The California Philharmonic. An accomplished luthier, Sanders builds classical and flamenco guitars, as well as historic reproductions of vihuelas, baroque guitars and 19th Century instruments.
The Muriel and Dr. Seymour Thickman Family Charitable Foundation in Sheridan underwrites the Piatigorsky Foundation concerts in Wyoming.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
