The Nassau Music Society -
An Evening of Classical Guitar



Friday, January 27th and
Sunday, January 29th, 2012

The Nassau Music Society continues its 2011-2012 Season with two evenings of classical guitar featuring Marco Tamayo and Anabel Montesinos, well-known, young musicians in the world of classical guitar. These concerts take place Friday, January 27th, 2012 at 8pm at The Bahamas Historical Society on Shirley St. & Elizabeth Avenue and on Sunday, January 29th, 2012 at 5:30pm at St. Paul's Church Hall in Lyford Cay. These concerts are under the patronage of His Excellency Sir Arthur Foulkes, Governor General of The Bahamas and are sponsored by Soci?t? G?n?rale Private Banking, Pictet, Royal Star Assurance and Colina Insurance Limited.


Winner of major International Guitar Competitions such as the Michele Pittaluga Intl. Guitar Competition in 1999 and the Andr?s Segovia Intl. Guitar Competition in Granada, Spain, Marco Tamayo performed concerts with the Chamber Orchestra of St. Petersburg, the Philarmonic of Torino under the baton of Paolo Ferrara, the Chamber Orchestra of Aix-en-Provence (France), under the baton of Philip Bender, the Philarmonic of Tampere (Finland), the Philarmonic of La Habana under the baton of Leo Brouwer and the TransArt Orchestra of Salzburg conducted by Kurt Redel.

Anabel Montesinos, one of the most important personalities in the world of classical guitar, was described as a "promising star of the classical guitar" by Ant?n Garc?a Abril, after he heard her play at the age of fifteen. She is the winner of several international competitions such as the renowned "Francisco Tarrega" competition in Spain or the "Michele Pittaluga" in Italy. Her musical style, taste and choices of interpretation have charmed the audience at each performance.

Both musicians are expected to hold a Master Class for classical guitarists. The date, time and venue will be announced shortly. Persons wishing to participate or attend should contact Italia Watkins-Jan at the Nassau Music Society at admin@nassaumusicsociety.org or Dr. Christy Lee at docchristy@gmail.com by Wednesday, January 25th, 2012.
