Wilmington Classical Guitar presents Xavier Jara this Saturday!

Xavier Jara

Dear Subscriber,

There are few guitarists I enjoy listening to as much as American classical guitarist Xavier Jara, so it’s with my very great pleasure that we welcome him back to Wilmington Classical Guitar this Saturday, March 19th, at Presbyterian Church of the Covenant at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7:00).

Xavier knocked our socks off during his GFA tour in 2018. We always expect the best from the Guitar Foundation of America’s International Concert Artist Competition winner’s tour (especially since we’re often the last concert on the tour and the musicians are very well practiced), but when we welcome a young musician who is both virtuosic and deeply musical, it is a time for celebration. Xavier is the whole package, and his music is evocative, consuming, and deeply intentional. You’ll know what I mean when you hear him. Why not take a moment to sit back and listen to his enthralling rendition of Couperin’s Les Barricades Mystérieuses, recorded at our last concert with Xavier in 2018. You’ll be glad you did.
