DelawareScene: Christopher Mallett, classical guitar @ Presbyterian Church of the Covenant

Christopher Mallett, classical guitar

“Christopher Mallett is a superb interpreter, playing with a rich palette of instrumental colours, and beguiling phrasing.” -Ken Meltzer – Fanfare

We're incredibly excited to welcome Christopher Mallett to our stage. Join us for an unforgettable evening as we welcome one of America's most exciting rising stars in classical guitar. Praised as "mesmerizing" by the Oberlin Review, Mallett's soulful artistry and passion for uncovering lost musical treasures - particularly the legacy of Justin Holland, America's first classical guitar master and civil rights pioneer - and commissioning new and exciting works for the guitar (Clarice Assad, Gity Razaz, Gabriella Smith, Courtney Bryan, Javier Farias, Ray Lustig, Mary Kouyoumdjian, and more), will make it a night not readily forgotten. Grab your tickets now and become a part of this extraordinary musical journey!

Works to be performed by Justin Holland, Scott Joplin, Nikita Koshkin, Phillip Houghton, and more.

Concert: 7:00 pm (doors 6:30 pm)
