Student Recital
James O'Malley Gorbea, guitar/voice
This concert's program was inspired by the rich diversity found in guitar repertoire, featuring pieces that display standard solo classical repertoire, guitar accompaniment, idiomatic studies, and singing while playing. Featured composers range from Bach all the way to Egúrbida, a contemporary Puerto Rican composer, with the premier of 2 new guitar studies written by James O'Malley Gorbea. The title of this recital, "A Mi Manera", was inspired by the Gipsy Kings cover of "My Way".
