'An artist with a magnificent
technique.'
Andres Segovia
With a style that has been described as "incendiary and exciting," renowned classical guitarist David Burgess will open the Centenary Stage Company professional Concert Season on Saturday, October 4th at 8 PM at the Centenary Stage Company.
Praised by musicians and critics worldwide for his polished technique and flamboyant style, David Burgess is recognized as one of today's outstanding guitarists. Recently returned from a seven city European concert tour, his international appearances have taken him to concert halls throughout North and South America, Europe and the Far East. A student of the great Spanish maestro, Andres Segovia, his performances have been acclaimed as "hauntingly beautiful, tastefully phrased with exquisite nuance and yet with an aristocratic understatement that held his audience spellbound" (Greenwich Time).
Burgess had performed at New York City at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Recital Hall and the Town Hall and recorded for CBS Masterworks, MusicalHeritage Society, Tritone and Athena Records. Over the past 10 years, he has taken numerous trips to Brazil, rediscovering guitar music from Brazil’s past, as well as finding many progressive contemporary Brazilian works.
The evening’s program will include music by some of the finest Brazilian composers of all time: Ernesto Nazareth (1863-1934), who transformed the tango into a fascinating style of Brazilian ragtime; João Pernambuco (1883-1947), who never completed elementary school, could not read or write, but composed some of the best loved Brazilian music from the 1920’s and 30’s; Pixinguinha (1898-1973), the legendary band leader who performed throughout Brazil for more than 50 years; and of course, Luiz Bonfá (b.1922) and Antonio Carlos Jobim (1927-1994), the two best known composers of Bossa Nova.
