This evening’s program travels across continents and centuries through the expressive voice of the guitar. From the rhythms of Latin America and Spain to the lyricism of Europe and the folk traditions of Russia, each piece highlights the guitar’s unique ability to sing, dance, and tell stories beyond words.
