Joseph Haydn developed the Symphony as we know it. His famed “Surprise” Symphony still jolts listens after more than two centuries. Also, the intoxicating, seductive sound of the classical guitar in the greatest of all guitar concertos, Rodrigo’s haunting Concierto de Aranjuez with Rafael Aguirre. He has been hailed as “one of the most acclaimed ambassadors of the Spanish guitar” by Madrid’s El País.
Aguirre’s appearance underwritten by Julia Pernet on behalf of the Tucson Guitar Society.
