2006-2007 International Concert Series
One of Argentina's foremost musical ambassadors, composer-guitarist José Luis Merlin has toured the globe over twenty times and has produced a dozen recordings. He is widely acknowledged as an expert in Argentinian and South American music. The Keiler Nachriten (Germany) asserted that "An artist like José Luis Merlin needs no certificates of his mastery over the strings of his guitar, since the composer does more than dominate the instrument. It is a kind of symbiosis." |
Guitarist extraordinaire Eric Franceries makes his much anticipated and welcome return to the AGS series. A veteran of numerous world tours, he has also worked with such notables as Jean-Pierre Rampal and Claude Bolling. Le Pay Roannais (France) was unequivocal in its praise when it declared that "Anglo Saxons, in the field of the rock'n'roll and the blues, qualify their virtuoso guitarists as 'Guitar Heroes'. Eric Franceries, in the field of classical music, amply deserves this title." |

Stela Miteva Dinkova has garnered several prizes in national and international competitions, and has performed throughout Europe including major festivals in Spain, the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland and Serbia. A member of the faculty at the Plovdiv Academy of Music and Dance, she is a strong exponent of Bulgarian music and recently published a collection of guitar music by Bulgarian composers, the first of its kind. This is her first visit to the United States. |
A prizewinner of several national and international competitions, Maciej Ziemski has performed, and given radio and television broadcasts, throughout Poland, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic, Romania, Denmark, Venezuela, South Korea and the USA. Widely acclaimed for his awe-inspiring technique and first-class musicianship, he will be joined by his wife concert pianist Jolanta Ziemska. This concert is part of his first tour of the west coast. |
Recognized as one of the world's finest classical guitarists, Gérard Abiton appears regularly on the international scene and has toured throughout Europe, Canada, Mexico, Africa and the Middle East. He has a large body of recordings to his credit and is presently recording the complete works of Manuel Ponce, the first three volume of which have been released. Guitare Classique (France) acclaimed him as "a rare guitarist of exceptional standards...Gérard Abiton in concert is a very special event." |
