Solo guitarist David Rogers is scheduled to perform in concert at 6 p.m. Friday, July 29, at Cardwell Hill Cellars. Admission to the event is $10.
Rogers presents a classical crossover guitar program consisting of Spanish music, up-tempo Latin, arrangements of pop music and jazz, J.S. Bach and original compositions.
Termed “a prominent guitarist” by the New York Times, and praised by The Washington Post for his “astonishingly florid” improvisations, Rogers fuses classical, jazz and world music into his performances.
An endorsing artist for Aquila Strings, Italy, his music has been featured in major guitar magazines such as Fingerstyle Guitar in the United States and Akustic Gitarre in Germany. His performances have been broadcast on American National Public Radio and Bayrische Rundfunk.
