Renowned classical guitar virtuoso and passionate educator René Izquierdo will perform at the Pvt. David B. Berkeley Cantu Veterans Memorial Chapel on March 1 at 7:30 p.m. The performance is free and open to the public.
“René Izquierdo is a much sought-after performing artist and clinician,” LC Music Instructor Dr. Matthew Bishop said. “We are fortunate to have him here. Music has the ability to touch us deeply and foster community. Witnessing a great artist in such an intimate setting is an incredible opportunity.”
Izquierdo’s recording projects showcase his diverse interests. He aims to expand the guitar repertoire through his discography, often performing new arrangements of overlooked music of the 20th century, as well as world premieres of concertos and new compositions.
Whether as a solo performer, chamber musician, or as a guest soloist with orchestras, he has performed to critical acclaim touring extensively throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia. He is frequently invited by renowned festivals and institutions, having played at Carnegie Hall in New York, Manaus Opera House in Brazil, and theNational Recital Hall in Taiwan.
