Guitar at Music of the Americas: Spring 2015 Events
Americas Society's Spring 2015 concerts featuring guitar include such diverse artists as Argentine folk musicians, a duo of faculty from Ithaca College School of Music, and a Peruvian virtuoso.
Guitar has played a vital role in Americas Society's concerts over the years. We have presented extraordinary artists from the hemisphere, from Carlos Barbosa-Lima to Abel Carlevaro, Fábio Zanon to Sharon Isbin, as well as the Newman-Oltman and Brasil guitar duos, and the Assad Brothers. We have further enriched guitar's role in the series through our collaboration with the New York Guitar Seminar at Mannes. This spring, we welcome several wonderful guitarists to the series.
Brilliant Argentine folk duo Luna Monti and Juan Quintero has their New York debut on May 5. They will be joined by Puerto Rican saxophonist Miguel Zenón, a mainstay of the New York jazz scene. The duo recently released their fifth duo album, Después de usted, and frequently perform throughout Latin America. This event is part of the "Americas in New York" series, supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
