A founding member of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet
and America’s outstanding narrative guitarist, William Kanengiser has forged a
career that expands the possibilities of the classical guitar. Kanengiser's
program will explore music inspired by a wide variety of folk music
traditions, finding the unique features of each while weaving a thread of
continuity among them. It is especially dedicated to those peoples
and cultures who left their ancestral homelands to settle in unfamiliar
places. The focus on these tales of migration, ancient and contemporary,
led to Kanengiser’s “The Diaspora Project” commissioning of new works,
several of which will be featured in this concert.
This event is free and open to the public.
Seating is first come, first served. Sponsored by the Department of Music at
