As the final pupil of Segovia and one of the few classical guitarists who can crack the Billboard charts, Eliot Fisk is truly “the king of the American classical guitar” (The New Yorker). Adored for his far-ranging transcriptions, audacious compositions, and exhilarating finger style, he turns the guitar into “an instrument of seemingly limitless possibilities” (Chicago Sun Tribune). In this solo performance, he deploys his famously fleet and colorful touch upon popular Latin-American songs, intricate transcriptions of Bach and Paganini, and Luciano Berio’s Sequenza XI, a landmark technical showpiece written expressly for Fisk.
