AMERICAN GUITARIST-COMPOSERS

Saturday, March 28, 8:00 PM
92Y Kaufmann Concert Hall

The Art of the Guitar series continues this season at 92Y with four established American composer-guitarists who bring their unique voices and share their dual roles. With Emmy & Grammy Awards, best-selling CDs, and top prizes in international guitar competitions, each of these artists truly represent what it means to be the total musician.

The tradition of the composer–performer goes back to the Renaissance and beyond. In our times, this tradition has been particularly successful among guitarists. Benjamin Verdery, artistic director of 92Y’s Art of the Guitar series and chair of Yale’s guitar department, will give a pre-concert talk keeping this duality in mind.
