Colombia-born guitarist Ricardo Cobo is one of the world's leading virtuosi of the new classic guitar generation. He made his astonishing debut to American audiences as the first Hispanic ever to win consecutive medals at the Guitar Foundation of America's Solo International Competition. This flamboyant program includes Latin-flavored works by Piazolla and Louis Moyse, as well as exotic compositions of Ravi Shankar, Sergio Assad, and rising star Arab American Composer Mohammed Fairouz's short 3-part song cycle, "Fragments of Ibn Khafajah", featuring soprano Mary Bonhag. The Boccherini D minor Guitar Quintet, which includes the showstopper "Fandango", will be a grand and colorful finale.
