Flamenco Legend Paco Peña
Farruca, Paco Peña (Flamenco Guitar)
Good morning to all of us.
We’re excited to announce for the first time, some of the best talks from our Art of the Guitar concert series—featuring 11 acclaimed classical guitarists—are now available to view on 92Y On Demand. Guests include Christopher Parkening, Pepe Romero, Eliot Fisk, Paco Peña and more.
“When 92Y asked me to be Artistic Director of their Art of the Guitar series, I suggested asking each artist if they would agree to a live pre-concert interview. To my delight, many agreed and now a few years later we have a series of interviews we can share with you,” comments Verdery. “My initial impetus was selfish—I wanted to know things about these great artists that I hadn’t heard them talking about, and I liked the idea of a colleague-to-colleague conversation. And not surprisingly, they’re wonderful storytellers. I was captivated hearing Sergio Assad talking about his young upstart brother Odair, Pepe Romero’s relationship to the legendary composer Rodrigo, David Russell's advice on learning new music and the group panels on Julian Bream, Leo Brouwer and composing for the guitar.”
The new season of Art of the Guitar, described by The New Yorker as the city's most "consistently satisfying series," begins on December 12 with Pepe Romero.
