On April 5th, 2008, the Fine Arts Department presented a program of classical guitar by performers Jonathan Godfrey and Benjamin Kunkel, both Master of Music candidates at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The music performed featured solo guitar works by Scarlatti, Sor, Villa-Lobos, Torroba, Mangoré, and Brindle. If you happened to miss this great performance, the Fine Arts Department did record the event. Here are two MP3 files you can listen to and download:
Jonathan Godfrey performing Choros No.1 by Heitor Villa-Lobos [1]
Benjamin Kunkel performing Una Limosna por el Amor de Dios by Agustín Barrios Mangoré [2]
You can also watch a few moments of video from the performance here [3] and here [4] or listen to the entire concert on this site [5].
If you are a performer interested in playing a recital here at the Cleveland Public Library, please contact librarian Michael Dalby at michael [dot] dalby [at] cpl [dot] org.
