Montreal classical guitarist to perform at UPEI - March 15

Posting Date(s)
The UPEI Music Department Recital series continues on Saturday, March 15 at 7:30 pm with Montreal classical guitarist Patrick Kearney. He represents a rare balance between sheer technical virtuosity and intense musicality. A true artist, he consistently spellbinds audiences through his deep musical insight and natural dramatic flair, interspersing his performances with narration and anecdotes discovered through deliberate research into the guitar repertoire. Mr. Kearney teaches guitar at Concordia University in Montreal as well as at Vanier College. He is the founder and director of the Montreal International Classical Guitar Festival and Competition (www.guitaremontreal.com), which is hosted by Concordia Music. The repertoire for his concert at UPEI will include Spanish and Mexican guitar repertoire as well as one of Mr. Kearney’s own compositions. UPEI vocal professor Sung Ha Shin-Bouey will also be joining Patrick in performance. Admission for this recital at the Dr. Steel Recital is $15 Adults / $10 for Seniors and Students, and tickets are available at the door or in advance, by calling 566-0507 or by emailing music@upei.ca
