GFA Winner's Tour featuring Leonela Alejandro (Puerto Rico), classical guitar
Why you should be excited...
Leonela Alejandro is on fire with a rare combination of bold expressivity and refined control.
Leonela Alejandro’s artistry thrives on contrast—precision balanced by spontaneity, power tempered by lyricism. Her performances reveal a performer unafraid to take risks, yet always in command of her sound. Each piece she plays becomes a study in dynamic color and expressive architecture, drawing the listener into her world rather than merely displaying her skill. Known for her adventurous programming and magnetic stage presence, she has quickly emerged as one of the most engaging voices of a new generation of classical guitarists. This concert offers the rare chance to witness an artist at the point where virtuosity meets genuine creative curiosity. Her presence will remind us why the GFA winner’s tour is among the most anticipated events every season.
Works to be performed by Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Bellinati, Miranda, Takemitsu, Egúrbida, Sorroche, Cordero, Reinhardt, and Brouwer.
OPENING ARTIST: Keith Calmes (Leo Brouwer WORLD PREMIERE)
