The public is invited to attend Mr. Barrueco's Master Class following the concert at 1 p.m. Manuel Barrueco has firmly established himself as one of the most important guitarists in the world today. Since his dazzling debut recital at Carnegie Hall in 1974, his artistry has continually been described as that of a superb instrumentalist and an elegant musician, with a seductive sound and uncommon lyrical gifts. He has performed in concerts throughout the world, with numerous orchestras, and on several television broadcasts, including a feature on CBS Sunday Morning as well as appearing in a Lexus car commercial. In addition to his extensive concertizing, Mr. Barrueco is a member of the music faculty at the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore, Maryland.
Admission is free and the community is invited.
