New Music For GUITAR FROM LATIN AMERICA in Pittsburgh
Colombian guitarist Guillermo Bocanegra will offer a recital next Thursday with music by some of the leading Latin American composers of our times. The concert will include pieces by Leo Brower, Graciela Paraskevaídis, and Pittsburgh-based composer Federico Garcia, among others, and will feature the Pittsburgh premiere of Carlos Mastropietro’s “Violin Hechizo”, a piece that is rapidly winning over players and public alike around the world.
Join us downtown at Gallery 709 for an evening of stimulating music featuring the beautiful and intimate sounds of classical guitar. Suggested donation is $8 ($5 for students).
