The warmth and splendor of Italy has inspired guitarists and composers for five centuries, and 92nd Street Y will present it all in five hours! Over the course of one day, during two concerts, 92Y's biennial guitar extravaganza will celebrate Italian music of the guitar, from the Renaissance and Baroque to Berio and the music of today, as performed by over a dozen artists. Presented in partnership with citywide New York Guitar Festival.
