      Exploring Music

      A Guitar Fest

      This week’s show was inspired by a listener who suggested we dedicate some time to Andrés Segovia. He wrote, 'Of all musicians I have known, no one dominated the field as he did. Almost single-handedly, he converted the guitar from a plaything to a concert instrument...An amazing artist and an unforgettable man.' So, this week, we’ll hear Andrés Segovia and his colleagues perform guitar pieces by Bach, Villa-Lobos, Albéniz, and Brouwer. Hosted by Bill McGlaughlin

      8:00 - 10:00 pm

      10:00 pm - 12:00 am
