Friday, July 12th, 11am: Guitarist Gladius in Concert:
Direct from South Georgia, guitarist and composer Gladius will present a concert of Flamenco and classical music. In an era when expertise and originality are often overlooked
in lieu of fleeting flash and flare, Gladius defines innovation as a
composer and mastery as an instrumentalist. Inspired by the great
classical composers (Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven) and Spanish flamenco
legends (Paco De Lucia and Carlos Montoya) and much more, Gladius is
perpetually pushing the boundaries of his Neo-Classical-Flamenco fusion.
