Pablo Sainz Villegas at the NGA Guitarfest
Join Pablo Sainz Villegas at the National Gallery of Art where he will play a selection of pieces from his latest album, Americano.
The soul of the Spanish guitar runs in Pablo Sáinz Villegas’s blood. Born and raised in La Rioja, Spain –the country with unique and deep ties to his chosen instrument– Villegas is distinguished by performances as charismatic as they are intimate. With his singing tone and consummate technique, his interpretations conjure the passion, playfulness, and drama of his homeland’s rich musical heritage, routinely drawing comparisons with such legendary exponents of his instrument as Andrés Segovia.
As part of Hispanic Heritage Month, Pablo will play a selection of pieces from his latest album, Americano (music by Agustín Barrios Mangoré, Leonard Bernstein, Luiz Bonfá, Pedro Elías Gutiérrez, Roland Dyens, Antonio Lauro, and Heitor Villa-Lobos.)
