John Williams (guitar) March 24, 2009

Program will be announced from the stage

“...arguably the finest guitarist before the public today.” (New York Times)

John Williams is widely acknowledged as the greatest living classical guitarist, having established his place in the genres top rank over the course of 30 years of recording and performing. He inherited this mantle from Andres Segovia, and has worn it for almost fifty years. Mr. William's influence has guided two generations of disciples and he still remains the gold standard—simply ask anyone who plays classical guitar. His solo recital visits to the US have become increasingly rare and his previous PCMS appearances have all sold out far in advance. So make sure to grab a session with this legend while you still can.

His program will most likely feature a selection of pieces from his extensive discography—which includes over 30 best-selling recordings of a broad range of music for classical guitar, either solo or in collaboration with artists such as Julian Bream, Itzhak Perlman and Andre Previn, Paco Pena, Inti Illimani, and numerous others. Classic CD calls him “the world’s most accomplished all-around guitarist."
