SUMMARY:Manuel Barrueco

He has completed a dozen tours of Japan and made repeated appearances in Korea\, Taiwan\, Singapore\, China\, and Hong Kong\, and in Latin America he has performed in Mexico\, Brazil\, Colombia\, Costa Rica\, Panama and Puerto Rico.  \nBarrueco’s commitment to contemporary music and to the expansion of the guitar repertoire has led him to collaborations with many distinguished composers such as Steven Stucky\, Michael Daugherty\, Roberto Sierra\, Arvo Pärt\, Jonathan Leshnoff\, Gabriela Lena Frank\, Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky\, and Toru Takemitsu. \nManuel Barrueco has appeared on a wide array of television programs including “CBS Sunday Morning”\, A&E’s “Breakfast with the Arts”\, and “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” on PBS. He was featured in a Lexus car commercial\, and his work in music inspired Michael Lawrence’s biographical documentary: “Manuel Barrueco: A Gift and a Life”. \nBarrueco’s recording catalogue includes over a dozen recordings for the EMI label. His recording of Joaquín Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez with conductor and tenor Plácido Domingo and the Philharmonia Orchestra was cited as the best recording of that piece in Classic CD Magazine.\n \nIn 2007 Manuel Barrueco received a Grammy nomination for the “Best Instrumental Soloist Performance” for his Solo Piazzolla\, which was the first recording to be released on his exclusive Manuel Barrueco Collection on Tonar Music. Tango Sensations and Sounds of the Americas followed in collaboration with the Cuarteto Latinoamericano\, the latter received a Latin Grammy Award for “Inca Dances” by Gabriela Lena Frank for “Best Classical Contemporary Composition.” In 2010 he released\, Tárrega!\, which received a Latin Grammy nomination for “Best Classical Album\,” Medea\, which includes Barrueco’s arrangement of the ballet by flamenco guitarist/composer Manolo Sanlúcar recorded with the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra and Víctor Pablo Pérez conducting and received a Latin Grammy nomination for “Best Classical Album” as well.

SUMMARY:Kazuhito Yamashita
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets Today! \nLegendary Japanese guitarist Kazuhito Yamashita is one of the most acclaimed and daring artistic visionaries of our time. His international career began after victories in three of the most important guitar competitions\, and he has since recorded almost 80 albums. His stunningly original arrangements\, including Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition  and Dvorak’s Symphony from the New World  have revolutionized what is possible on solo guitar. \nIn 1989\, the Casals Hall in Tokyo\, considered to be one of the finest auditoriums in the world\, presented a series called The World of Kazuhito Yamashita\, comprising seven concerts in 12 months. The high point of the concerts was Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s 24 Caprichos de Goya in a single performance. The series concluded with Bach’s six sonatas and partitas over two consecutive nights; a recital series was continued in 1994 and 1999. \nFollowing his 1987 Boston Symphony Hall debut recital with iconic flutist Sir James Galway\, the Boston Globe wrote: “Yamashita is a phenomenally gifted artist\, who\, one imagines\, could turn the most mundane exercise into a fascinating musical excursion.”
