                          Peter Fletcher Performs at Carnegie Public Library of Steuben County


                    One of the nation’s finest classical guitarists, Peter Fletcher, will perform by the fountain area on Tuesday May 21 at 6:30 pm. He has sold out Carnegie Hall in New York several times! Fletcher began guitar study at the age of 7. In 1980, he was the youngest student in the master class taught by Jose Tomas, of Spain, Andres Segovia’s teaching assistant. He made his professional debut at the age of 15, with the Brasstown Concert Association in North Carolina. The guitarist is in demand in cultural venues throughout the country, and has appeared many times on radio and television, including National Public Radio. Fletcher’s recordings — The Art of the Classical Guitar, A Peter Fletcher Recital, Fedrico Mompou: Guitar Works, and Peter Fletcher Plays Erik Satie — have all received critical acclaim. Fletcher’s newest CD, Peter Fletcher Plays Baroque Music for Guitar, was released last October. The public is invited, no reservations required.
