Festival Ensemble
In honor of the
third annual Classical Guitar Festival, we have commissioned
Jerry Tabor to composed a new work
for guitar ensemble. Al participants are invited to play in the
ensemble which will rehearse in the afternoon session and
perform on the final concert. No preparation in advance is
necessary however the score will be available online in advance
for those wishing to hear the sound files and select a part to
practice.
Final Concert
The final concert features a solo
performance by
Javier Calderon.
The New
York Times described Calderon as "a virtuoso with poetic
sensibility" and he has toured extensively throughout the United
States, Europe, South America and the Far East.
Mr.
Calderon’s recital will be followed by the Ensemble Showcase in
which the participants’ Ensemble and the guest ensemble will
perform.
