Pepe Romero to perform Sat.
LONG BEACH SYMPHONY
On Saturday, April 30, at 8 p.m., Spanish guitarist Pepe Romero returns to the Terrace Theater in Long Beach. The classical and flamenco artist will perform as the guest soloist with the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Eckart Preu.
Since the age of 7, Romero has been performing for audiences around the world, many of them with his family, the Romero Quartet, but also as a solo instrumentalist. He has worked with almost every major conductor and has made more than 60 recordings. On Saturday, he will join the LBSO to perform the evocative “Medea” by Manolo Sanlúcar, one of the key figures in the evolution of the flamenco guitar.
Also on the program that evening are works by C.P.E. Bach and Franz Joseph Haydn. For more detailed program information or to purchase concert tickets, call the box office at (562) 436-3203 or visit longbeachsymphony.org.
