Music of the Spheres Concert #6: Great Guitars featuring Alex de Grassi and Daniel Roest - SOLD OUT

Saturday, August 25 - 8:00 pm

Speaker:  Mariska Kriek, UCB

Talk:  "A Deep View on the Early Universe: Extreme Makeovers and Overweight Galaxies"

Daniel Roest's Great Guitar concerts have been a favorite of Lick audiences for many years, combining virtuoso performances with fun and informative presentations. Daniel plays first, followed this year by Contemporary Fingerstyle Guitar icon Alex De Grassi. De Grassi's early solo guitar recordings Turning: Turning Back and Slow Circle on the Windham Hill label established his reputation as a leading innovator, composer, and performer of acoustic guitar. The Los Angeles Times called him “an acoustic guitarist of virtuosic strength and ability” and the Washington Post labeled his performances as “one man guitar duets.” He has since made over 20 recordings and has toured extensively throughout the world including performances at Carnegie Hall, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and the Kennedy Center.
