Many significant developments in classical guitar design and technique flourished in Spain during the past few centuries, but the story indeed began many years perhaps millennia earlier.
Virginia Luque (Guitarist) with Jubilant Sykes (Baritone) Join St. Louis Classical Guitar for an evening with Jubilant Sykes, American Grammy-nominated baritone, and Spanish classical and flamenco guitarist Virginia Luque at the Sheldon as part of their Special Blends Series.
Virginia Luque plays classical and flamenco music in a Spanish romantic style, combining extraordinary technical virtuosity, with beautiful tone and musicianship. She recently recorded Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez with the London Symphony Orchestra, at Abbey Road Studios. She’s also been awarded first prize at several international competitions, including the Manuel de Falla Competition for Classical Guitar in Granada, Spain, and has received the Lincoln Center Scholarship among other awards.Information and tickets are available through both organizations' websites.
