In this 1-hour concert, classical guitartist Mychal Gendron presents España – Spanish Masterworks of the 17th-20th Centuries.
The guitar has held a particular place of honor in Spanish culture for centuries, and is expressed through Flamenco inspired works as well as the nationalistic Romanticism of that country’s finest composers. This program features songs and dances of the Renaissance and Baroque periods for vihuela and guitar, plus masterworks of the late 19th century that have become iconic pieces of the classical guitar repertoire.

Free and open to the public. No registration.
