Stretched Strings Concert and Workshop Series is dedicated to presenting a broad spectrum of music that expresses the pure beauty of the acoustic guitar. We feature the finest fingerstyle guitarists working today in an intimate and casual setting. Each event features a concert by a world class guest artist who will showcase their unique musical vision. There is also an up-close workshop in which the guest artist will discuss his or her personal style and area of expertise. Each concert is hosted by our Resident Artist and Artistic Director Tim Farrell, who performs solo and with each guest artist. Tim also facilitates and teaches at the workshops. Stretched Strings has had the pleasure to present these incredible artists: Thom Bresh, Robin Bullock, Ernie Hawkins, Mark Hanson, Bob Evans, Stephen Bennett, Philadelphia Classical Guitar Trio Doug Smith Muriel Anderson and Pete Huttlinger.
STRETCHED STRINGS CONCERT & WORKSHOP SERIES
Considered a "giften acoustic fingerstyle guitar player" (Dirty Linen), Peter Janson's brand of American fingerstyle music brings world-class solo guitar playing to the concert stage. Reminiscent of American Folk guitar, Celtic guitar, and American Roots music his original and compelling contemporary style is filled with artistry, superb technical mastery, and heartfelt passion. He's collaborated on stage with a variety of acoustic artists including Alex de Grassi, Ed Gerhard, Ken Bonfield, Larry Pattis and more. With critical acclaim such as "perfection...highly creative," "a true artist's soul," and "perhaps the leading contemporary fingerstyle guitarist today" there's no doubt he has bridges a gap bringing together the every-day music fan with die-har guitar fans. He is a regular performer at guitar festivals and concerts throughout North America. |
