The January 13, 2019, 5:00 pm USCB Chamber Music concert features compositions for three string instruments—guitar, violin, and cello—across eight works: three for solo guitar, one for solo violin, two for cello and guitar, and two for violin and guitar. It traces an arc from old (1735) to modern (1986) and swings from North German High Baroque counterpoint to Argentinian-Barrio Tango, with two stops in Brazil, and one each in Spain, Paraguay, Venezuela. If you are intrigued by the guitar, this concert is for you.
