Last July, I went to the Meadows Museum at SMU for their Silver Sculptures exhibit. And, at the time, I signed up on their e-mail list for new events.
In their most recent mailing, I learned of a guitar recital on Saturday afternoon:
Guitar Recital
Saturday, October 11th
3:00 p.m.“From Spain to Latin America” by Francesc de Paula Soler
Experience the Meadows Museum collection of Spanish art accompanied by the melodic, expressive sounds of “The Poet of the Guitar,” Francesc de Paula Soler. Hailed by critics around the world, Soler is considered by many to be the most notable name of the new Spanish guitar. He is currently touring the United States, while preparing his second CD, El Polifeno de Oro, a collection of Spanish music for vihuela and guitar.
Free • Seating is available on a first come, first served basis
I’m a fan of John Williams (the classical guitarist), and I wasn’t sure if this would be similar. But, I talked it over with Josh and he thought I’d enjoy it since Spanish guitar is a subset of classical guitar anyway.
So, I think I’ll try to make it to this. Feel free to join me — I’ll probably aim to get there around 2:30pm in order to ensure that I get a seat.
