Recently termed, 'a prominent guitarist,' by the New York Times and praised by The Washington Post for his 'astonishingly florid' improvisations, David Rogers presents an evening of solo guitar music with strong leanings towards jazz, world, and classical music.

An endorsing artist for GHS Strings, his music has been featured in major guitar magazines such as Fingerstyle Guitar in the United States and Akustik Gitarre, in Germany. His solo and ensemble performances have been broadcast on American National Public Radio and Bayrische Rundfunk.

David will play Spanish guitar favorites, songs by the Beatles, his own 'jazzy' version of La Bamba, as well as 'flashy' original settings of Leonard Cohen's songs Hallelujah and Suzanne and Rolling Stones' Wild Horses and Under My Thumb. David will round out the program with music by J.S. Bach and Chick Corea.

Also, joining David in a few duets will be Boston Conservatory professor Olav Chris Henriksen.

REVIEWS

"Playing the vihuela (a guitar relative), David Rogers held everything together with a few poignant plucks, vigorous strumming and the occasional astonishingly florid solo"

Washington Post

"Music to listen to, be amazed by, and to dream upon."

Akustik Gitarre 6/07

"first rate instrumental artistry"

Classics today.com

"David Rogers played his vihuela (a 16th-century precursor to the guitar) not in the tasteful, restrained way of early music groups, but like a lead guitarist in a rock band. He laced the likes of 'De el pobo' with improvised, speedy solos way up into the wailing region of the fingerboard"

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"A modern master of the classical guitarDavid Rogers has a remarkable grasp of 16th Century Baroque guitar music

20th Century Guitar

"He plays incredibly well" Paul McCandless, OREGON
