Guitarist Carlos Cuestas presents a lecture recital that explores how the guitar’s repertoire and construction adapted to meet the musical demands between the seventeenth and early twentieth centuries. The program features compositions by Manuel de Falla, Sor, Tárrega, as well as three compositions of the Afro-colonial fandango genre written in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth century respectively. The concert will be performed on historical guitars, including a replica of Antonio de Torres’s SE 114 built by David LaPlante.
