A Garland of Song

Friday, May 11, 2018, 7:30–11 p.m.
Adams Theatre

Chico State Guitar Ensemble

A guitar quartet takes center stage for this program, presenting the music of Federico Moreno Torroba. Estampas, the title of the featured work, means “prints.” Eight short movements comprise this collection of impressionistic musical scenes, evoking the sights, sounds, and flavors of Spain. To complement the Spanish theme, a full guitar ensemble will perform an arrangement of the well-known Asturias by Isaac Albéniz, characterized by its dark, brooding, and exotic melodies.
