The Romeros Brothers at the 92nd Street Y

The Romeros performed late October in the 2014-15 season of the 92nd Street Y’s Art of the Guitar series. Pepe Romero and Celin Romero, sons of the legendary guitarist Celedonio, were joined by the third generation of Romeros, grandsons, Celino and Lito.

The Romero family has been at the forefront of classical guitar for decades. Celedonio Romero, the colorful patriarch of the clan, performed as a 14 year old for Miguel Llobet, student of guitar legend Francisco Tárrega, and went on to study with composer Joaquín Turina at the Madrid Royal Conservatory. While there, Celedonio spent his off hours hanging out in cafes with painter Salvador Dali and poet Federico García Lorca. During the Franco regime, Celedonio was not permitted to give concerts abroad but, in the late 1950s, he managed to secure a set of American visas and escaped with his family to the U.S. , where he formed a guitar quartet with his three sons.
