Julian Burbano is finishing his Senior year at Duke completing a Minor in Music under Professor Randy Reed. He has also studied under flamenco guitarist Alexander Rani, and classical guitarist Christopher Wyton. Julian was chosen as a section-leader in the All-Virginia Guitar Ensemble, and was selected for the All-National Guitar Ensemble. Julian also has placed in the Beatty Competition for several years, won his age division and was the Overall Winner of all categories in the 2019 Aguado Classical Guitar Competition. Following his very successful recital last year the TGS Board have been thrilled to invite Julian back for his Senior recital.
A note from Julian:
This program represents my final thank you and goodbye (or rather see you soon!) to the TGS and its wonderful members. As I’m graduating this May and will be moving to the DC area while I apply to medical school, I wanted to present a program that wraps up my time in Durham and celebrates the memories that I’ve made with the guitarists and audience members of the Triangle. I present a mixture of 20th century repertoire, celebrating many influential figures in my playing including the legendary guitarist Andres Segovia and the great composer Joaquín Rodrigo. The first half is comprised of solo repertoire and will explore pieces written for Segovia as well as some highly influential works for solo guitar from Spain. The latter half of the recital will include duets with my professor and lifelong friend, Professor Randy Reed. My first-ever performance with the TGS was of the Suite for Two Guitars (c. 18th century) by Marella, so we saw it fitting to revive this piece in my final recital. Finally, we will play the Minueto Pomposo duet by Rodrigo from Tonadilla (1959), which will provide the perfect segue to my final piece by the same composer, the first two movements of the Concierto de Aranjuez (1939). I hope everyone enjoys this recital as much as I will, and I extend my eternal gratitude to TGS for taking me in with open arms for these past few years and being my family away from home during my college years.
