Guitarist Sharon Isbin and soprano Jessica Rivera join forces for an exquisite afternoon Of Love and Longing. Their seductive program ranges from Spanish and Latin American songs and solo guitar music to award-winning American composer Richard Danielpour’s intensely expressive settings of poems by the Persian poet Rumi, evoking the rich and magnificent tradition of Spain. Noted for her extraordinary lyricism, technique and versatility, Multiple GRAMMY Award winner Sharon Isbin was named the 2020 Musical America Instrumentalist of the Year, the first guitarist ever to receive the coveted honor in its 59-year history. She is often hailed as the pre-eminent guitarist of our time. Sharon Isbin “gets nuances out of the classical guitar few guitarists since Segovia have matched” acclaimed the Chicago Tribune. GRAMMY Award-winner Jessica Rivera is one of the most creatively inspired vocal artists performing before the public today, and has been hailed by the New York Times as “vocally luminous”, with a voice praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for its “effortless precision and tonal luster.” The concert will take place at Temple Beth-El, 211 Belknap Place, San Antonio, starting at 3:15 PM. Arrive early, as there is open seating for the concert. Free parking is available in the Temple’s parking lot. Additional concert information may be found on the San Antonio Chamber Music website (www.sacms.org). In accordance with Temple Beth-El’s health protocol, SACMS requires all attendees (other than children) to have proof of vaccination and wear a mask during the performance.
