American classical guitarist Peter Fletcher will be at the Marshalltown Public Library on Sunday, October 13 at 2:00pm to perform this program.Peter Fletcher is based in Detroit and New York City. His recordings on the Centaur Records and Towerhill Recordings labels have been critically acclaimed. Peter offers an audience friendly, solo recital including repertoire that runs the gamut from the Renaissance Period through the 20th Century.
His program features Bach’s Third Lute Suite and Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring; Three Dances from Terpsichore by Michael Praetorius; American guitarist and composer Andrew York’s Jubilation; the ever-popular Caprice No. 24 by Paganini; Barcarole and Danza Pomposa by Polish composer Alexandre Tansman.

There will be music by Dowland, Ponce, Villa-Lobos, and the concert will culminate with Spanish composer Isaac Albeniz’s Córdoba and Leyenda from Cantos de España, arranged by Fletcher from piano to classical guitar.
