Classical guitarist Gyan Riley to Perform at Concord Community Music School
CONCORD, NH – Gyan Riley’s music has been hailed by The Beat as “an engaging modern acoustic adventure, with classical, jazz, world, and otherworldly elements. Meditative or stirring, this is recommended for open ears.” And all ears are invited to hear Mr. Riley’s artistry when he performs works for guitar in Concord Community Music School’s Recital Hall on Friday, April 9th at 7:30 pm.
His concert, entitled “Stream of Gratitude” will feature original works, including a selection based on the Suite for Lute, BWV 997, by J.S. Bach. In addition, Riley will perform Piedad (homage to Astor Piazzolla) composed by his father, the composer/pianist/vocalist Terry Riley. Originally from North Carolina, Riley is in the Boston area the weekend of April 9-10 as a featured performer for The Boston Classical Guitar Society (BCGS) and its presentation of Festival 21, a celebration of 21st century music and all that is new in the world of classical guitar. His appearance in Concord is in cooperation with The BCGS and Festival 21.
