Hear 92Y Art of the Guitar series artistic director, Benjamin Verdery, in a fascinating program ranging from audience favorites by Bach and Boccherini to brand new works.
The dynamic, high-energy St. Lawrence String Quartet joins Verdery for a world premiere by Bryce Dessner (known to many as a guitarist with The National), whose music NPR praised as “gorgeous and full -hearted.” Also on the program: Villa-Lobos’s hauntingly beautiful Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, and NYC premieres of works by Verdery himself and Seymour Bernstein – recently the subject of Ethan Hawke’s loving documentary film, “Seymour: An Introduction.”
