We're delighted to welcome to Midday's Studio A the internationally acclaimed classical musician, Manuel Barrueco. A few years ago, Fanfare Magazine called the Cuban-born artist the world’s greatest living classical guitarist, and it’s hard to dispute that encomium. Three decades' worth of recordings and performances around the globe are the gold standard for legions of aspiring guitar players; for the past 25 years, he has shared his artistry and musical erudition with many of them at the Peabody Institute here in Baltimore.This weekend, Manuel Barrueco comes to Towson University to open the Baltimore Classical Guitar Society's 30th anniversary season, with a program titled The Spanish Guitar. The performance begins Saturday evening, October 28th at 8 p.m. in Towson’s Kaplan Hall. Manuel will perform pieces by Fernando Sor, Granados, and Falla.
