    Please join us on Thursday, Jan 15th in the evening at 5:30 PM in the auditorium for a captivating classical guitar recital by Richard Prigozen. This performance will highlight original works from the Golden Age of Guitar in early 19th-century Italy—a time when musical styles were gracefully shifting from the classical elegance of Mozart to the emotional richness of Beethoven. You’ll hear both influences beautifully interwoven through the lens of Italian artistry. The program will also feature early 20th-century compositions by Brazilian masters whose rhythmic flair and melodic inventiveness laid the foundation for the Bossa Nova movement. Join us after the performance for cookies, cake, tea, hot cider and hot chocolate.
