About this Event
Experience an extraordinary evening of classical guitar in the intimate, candlelit setting of historic Georgetown Lutheran Church. Founded in 1769 as the oldest church congregation in Georgetown, this sacred landmark predates the founding of Washington, D.C. itself, providing a deeply resonant backdrop for a night of musical storytelling. Following his completely sold-out "Legends of Spain" masterworks performance at Alexandria's Lyceum, this concert offers a rare opportunity to experience an artist accustomed to major concert halls in an exceptionally close-up setting.
Internationally acclaimed guitarist Piotr Pakhomkin invites you into a world of musical beauty, passion, and reflection through the expressive voice of the Spanish classical guitar. Known for commanding prominent national and international stages—including New York's Carnegie Hall, Boston's Jordan Hall, the Strathmore Music Center Main Hall, and the Hylton Performing Arts Center—Pakhomkin brings his formidable, prize-winning virtuosity to this specialized program.
From the elegance of Bach and Chopin to the evocative colors of the Spanish and Latin American traditions, this carefully curated repertoire celebrates the extraordinary versatility and intimacy of the classical guitar. The evening will also feature stunning, artistic virtuoso arrangements of several beloved holiday carols, including a breathtaking, reimagined rendition of "Silent Night."
