World renowned classical guitar performer/ teacher/ composer/ improvisor Roland Dyens will perform at SUNY Fredonia on April 17 at 8 p.m

Always transformative events, Roland Dyens’ concerts unfold as personal experiences of emotional awakening for the audience. Inspired by the musical unity demonstrated in his concerts, audience members will often later use the impact of the artist’s virtuosity and creativity to guide their own perception of music and, more broadly, their lives as well. For those who are unfamiliar with the contours and nuances of classical guitar performance, one often witnesses an inspirational discovery of the instrument and its musical potential, not to mention the pleasure it gives the audience.

Ryens teaches at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique de Paris.

Tickets are $5 general admission in Rosch Recital Hall in Mason Hall on the SUNY Fredonia Campus

There will be a master class on April 15 at 5 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall, open to the public and free admission.

Maestro Dyens is being presented by the Fredonia Guitar Society.
