About the Performer
Italian guitarist Nicolò Spera will perform a program for 6-string and 10-string guitars that explores old and new musical languages from the Old and the New Continents.
Spera is one of the few guitarists in the world to perform on both six-string and ten-string guitars, as well as on the theorbo. Committed to commissioning substantial works that explore unprecedented ways of writing for guitar, Spera has commissioned, performed, and recorded new works ranging from solos to programs with choirs, small ensembles, and orchestras.
Spera holds degrees from the Conservatory of Bolzano and the Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, an Artist Diploma in Guitar Performance at the University of Denver, and a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the University of Colorado Boulder. In 2011, Nicolò was appointed to the faculty at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he is Associate Professor of Classical Guitar.
Admission: Free for CSM members, $15 adults, $13 seniors (65+), $10 teachers/military, $1 Museums for All/Explorer Pass (with valid EBT card), always free for children ages 17 and under.
Presented in collaboration with Friends of Chamber Music.
