An Evening with Peppino D'Agostino and Carlos Reyes
Thu. 06/21 | 8:00PM @ 142 Throckmorton Theatre (map)
- Event Details
- Peppino DAgostino doesnt just play the guitar. He composes, arranges, collaborates, improvises and has even been known to sing a song here and there in both English and Italian. But what he does create on the guitar makes the difference between simply playing and truly making music apparent in the most wonderful ways. DAgostino has been hailed as a guitarists guitarist by Acoustic Guitar magazine as well as a giant of the acoustic guitar (San Diego Reader), and holds many top guitar awards, but the San Francisco Chronicle encapsulated the essential difference that distinguishes DAgostinos music when it dubbed him a poet. Carlos Reyes, recording artist, producer, engineer, harpist and violinist-- has been breaking musical barriers since his first public performance at the age of five. Born in Paraguay South America. He began his musical education at the age of three and a half on the violin. A few years later, his father, a musical and national hero in Paraguay, dared young Carlos to learn the complicated 36 string native Paraguayan harp. Being called a child prodigy at an early age he took his fathers challenge seriously, Carlos purchased his first harp for $50.00 when he was just ten years old. Two weeks later, he earned a double encore and $250.00 at his first professional harp concert. Since then he has taken the Harp and its music to new and ground breaking levels.
