Opportunities to enjoy a genuine guitar concerto – that is to say, an acoustic guitar with symphony orchestra – in person are scarce. That being the case, it should be self-recommending for you to check out this weekend’s concert with the New Jersey Capital Philharmonic Orchestra, as the centerpiece of tomorrow night’s Latin-inflected program will be not just any guitar concerto, but possibly the most famous of all time – or at the very least, of the last century – Joaquin Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez.”
Even if you can’t pronounce it, you’ll recognize the music! Here’s the soloist, Peruvian artist David Galvez, to tell you more about it:
The program will also include works by Arturo Marquez and José Pablo Moncayo. Music director Daniel Spalding will conduct. The concert will be held at Patriots Theater at the War Memorial in Trenton, Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
