Event
From Bach to Latin America An Evening of Classical Guitar with Mitch Weverka
Greater Boston House Concerts is pleased to present a solo recital with Texas-based guitarist and educator Mitch Weverka.
In his program, From Bach to Latin America, Mr. Weverka presents a program that begins with his own arrangement of the ever-popular first Cello suite by J.S. Bach. The program then switches over to music by living guitarists from Latin America, highlighted by a newly composed suite based on traditional Bolivian music by Oscar Valdez and Ernesto García de León's "Lejanías Sonata", a composition that sets the Rumba rhythms in a neoclassical form using post-modern harmonies.
"He possesses a truly refined talent, instinct, musicality, and undeniable technical qualities." La Provincia (Italy)
Program:
Suite for Unaccompanied Violoncello Bwv 1007 by J.S. Bach, Arr. M. Weverka
Estudios Sencillos (Book III & IV) by Leo Brouwer (b.1939)
Suite del Pago (Dedicated to M. Weverka) by Ovalba (b. 1950)
Sonata IV "Lejanías" Op. 34 by Ernesto García de León (b. 1952)
"Mr. Weverka impresses with his technical wizardry ... [playing] with relaxed flair and great musical definition." The Fort Worth Star Telegram
