The sixth annual Brick Church Music Series, held at the Old Brick Church in Williston, is presenting a special performance on Friday evening, April 11th. Headlining the evening will be classical guitarist Peter Fletcher.
Peter Fletcher began guitar study at the age of seven under classical guitar instructor, John Sutherland. In 1980 classical guitarist José Tomás, Andrés Segovia’s teaching assistant in Spain, held a week long Master Class in Atlanta, GA. Peter Fletcher was the youngest student to perform in the class, playing music by Bach and Carcassi. In December, 1983, he made his formal debut at the age of fifteen under the auspices of The Brasstown Concert Association in North Carolina. Wrote the critic of The Cherokee Scout, “He has technical facility but what one remembers about his playing is the nuances, the poetical phrasing, dynamic and tonal changes, his harmonics, his cadences.”
Peter Fletcher’s three recordings, The Art of Classical Guitar, A Peter Fletcher Recital and Federico Mompou: Guitar Works (Centaur Records CRC 2588), have received critical acclaim. In September 2005 Centaur Records released Peter Fletcher plays Erik Satie. His current release, Peter Fletcher Plays Baroque Music for Guitar was released in 2008 on the Tower Hill Recordings label.
The Brick Church Music Series focuses on bringing great art and music to the historic Brick Church while working with non-profit organizations to help raise funds for their worthwhile missions. Proceeds from this concert will benefit the Friends of the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library
The evening’s visual artist is Ken Stone, photographer, who will exhibit his dark room black and white photos plus recent digital work.
