Guitar Hero

Evening Music | May 6, 2010

German guitarist and composer Markus Segschneider flirts with the jazz, pop and classical worlds. Educated early on in the music of the Beatles, the Beach Boys and Brahms, he began playing acoustic guitar as a child, using his eclectic taste as the inspiration for his studies and the basis for his style. Tonight we hear several pieces from this genre-defying artist. Also, music from Miguel Frasconi and Jono El Grande.

Dominic Frasca / Forced Entry
Mark O'Conner / Strings & Threads Suite
Ned Rorem / Thirteen assorted songs
Frank Zappa / "Revised Music for Guitar and Low Budget Orchestra"
Pozzi/ Improvisation / Cantata Sopra Il Passacaglio. Diatonica
