The University pf Dayton CLASSICAL GUITAR ENSEMBLE TO PERFORM AT UD CHAPEL

News Release

DAYTON, Ohio, January 3, 1990--The Classical Guitar Ensemble of the

University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music will present a

program of solos, duos, trios and quartets at the University of Dayton

Immaculate Conception Chapel on Wednesday, Jan. 17 at 8 p.m.

The performance is free and open to the public.

The program will include music by Alessandro Scarlatti, Gabriel Urbain

Faure, Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Francis Poulenc, among others. A Latin-

America set will conclude the first half with rhythmic bossa novas and

sambas. A new piece by American Andrew Charleton, Fantasia on "Henry

Martin," will begin the final set, which ends with two great arrangements

of rags by Tom Turpin and Scott Joplin.

The group of nine guitarists will be completing a week's tour of Ohio,

Kentucky and Indiana. They are all majoring in classical guitar at the

College-Conservatory of Music under the tutelage of Clare Callahan. Each

year they take two one-week tours of schools, colleges, churches and mus1c

clubs, bringing classical guitar music to new audiences.

The ensemble's programs are broadcast regularly on radio station WGUC

and on the National Public Radio network. In 1981, they taped a program

for Warner-Amex cable television which is still shown around the country.

Each year the group commissions and performs a new work.

For more information on the performance, contact UD's mus1c division

at (513) 229-3936.
