Prez Sez  2009-10

We have gotten off to a late start this year.  But I hope it was worth the wait, because we have a fantastic year in the offering.  We have had some trouble finding a good hall for our concerts and then were some delays in confirming our November concert.  But here is our year, and it starts on November 4, so mark your calendars!

1. Rafael Aguirre  Wednesday, Nov. 4th, 2009 Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh - 8:00 pm  Rafael is the winner of the 2007 Francisco Tarrega Competition.

He will be performing his first concert of his current U.S. tour for the TGS.  Rafael is from Spain.  He is currently studying with Cuban-born guitarist/composer, Joaquin Clerch in Dusseldorf, Germany. How's that for multicultural?  Check out his website at www.rafaelaguirre.com for videos and audio samples.  

2. Jorge Caballero with dinner/wine Saturday, February 6th, 2010 for TGS members & guests at 4:30 PM.   $25 members only seats on a first come basis please make certain your membership is current and please write a check for each member that is attending and list their names and mail it to our Treasurer, Donnie Stallings.  Many of you will remember the remarkable recital that Jorge did for us last year. 

I think this will be a magical evening of music.  Jorge is one of the top players in the world.

3. Duo Transatlantique Friday, April 16th, 2010 *Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Raleigh - 8:00 pm.  Peabody Conservatory graduates, Ben Beirs and Maud LaForest make up this magnificent duo who will play an eclectic program of music ranging from Scarlatti transcriptions to Scott Joplin pieces to music arranged from the French film, 'Amelie'. 

4. TGS Benefit Concert 'A Tribute to Francisco Tarrega' Saturday, June 5th, 2010 (location TBA) - 8:00 pm

This year marks the 100th year anniversary of the death our beloved Francisco Tarrega who did so much in his compositions and teachings and performing to elevate the classical guitar and usher it into the 20th century. As a result we have planned a Tarrega Prize winner to start our year and we are ending the year with a Tarrega Tribute Benefit Concert.
