Guitar Under The Stars 2024 News Coming Soon!
In his relentless quest to redefine his instrument’s boundaries and reach new audiences, Daniel Salazar has re-imagined the traditional classical concert experience, creating Guitar Under The Stars with the goal of sharing his musical vision with large audiences.
Founded in 1993, Guitar Under the Stars is a large-scale outdoor concert production that has been described as “A spectacular evening of Latin, Spanish, Classical and International music for guitar and orchestra”. The program features Daniel Salazar performing his original music and brilliant symphonic arrangements with his ensemble of international musicians and symphony orchestra.
Guitar Under The Stars incorporates imaginative and bold programming such as an exciting reworking of Asturias by Albeniz, a rendition of the beautiful Adagio from Concierto De Aranjuez by Rodrigo, music by the Italian film composer Morriccone and Danza Ritual Del Fuego (Ritual Fire Dance) by Falla featuring Flamenco dancers. The exhilarating repertoire brings together these Spanish flamenco–inspired melodies and invigorating Latin rhythms with selections from Salazar's highly acclaimed repertoire of original compositions. Highlighting the beautifully expressive sound of the Spanish classical guitar, the music also incorporates an eclectic blend of orchestral instruments with traditional South American instruments such as zampoña, quena, charango and a full array of Latin percussion.
Guitar Under The Stars has been presented annually in Hartford, Connecticut at the Mortensen Riverfront Plaza, The University of Saint Joseph and Bushnell Park drawing thousands of concertgoers who come to enjoy the beautiful sound of Daniel Salazar’s music under the evening sky.
