Tucson, AZ -- Pima Community College Music presents faculty Ben McCartney in a solo classical guitar recital. The program features a repertoire of music of the Americas, with special emphasis on 20th century Latin American composers, including Leo Brouwer (Cuba), Heitor Villa Lobos (Brazil), Augustin Barrios Mangoré (Paraguay) and Manuel Maria Ponce (Mexico). Their compositional styles vary greatly, ranging from post-romantic to avant garde. The program also includes pieces from J.S. Bach (German baroque), Sor (Spanish romantic) and Yocoh (Japanese 20th century).
McCartney has performed as a soloist and chamber musician throughout the western hemisphere, including Brazil, Cuba, Venezuela and the continental United States. He has won prizes in several solo guitar competitions— the Ralph Stevens Solo Guitar Competition (2000), the Norman Sholin Solo Guitar Competition (2001), and was a finalist in the Walnut Valley Solo Fingerstyle Competition (2003). McCartney is the instructor of the guitar studies program at Pima Community College. He also teaches guitar at his private studio in Tucson. McCartney has earned an international reputation as a publisher of new editions of classical music, instructional texts and arrangements for solo guitar. Copies of his recently released CD – “New Interpretations,” will be for sale, along with some of his publications.
Pima Community College Center for the Arts is located on the West Campus at 2202 West Anklam Road, Tucson (just west of downtown). For ticket information contact the box office at 206-6986, www.pima.edu/cfa or centerforthearts@pima.edu .
