MOUNT VERNON — Guitarist Stephen Marchionda opens Cornell College’s 11th season of Music Mondays Oct. 6.
Music Mondays concerts are at 7:30 p.m. in King Chapel on the Cornell campus. General admission is $10 at the door and $5 for students. Admission is free to Cornell students, faculty, staff, emeriti faculty, and retired staff, and to Purple Pass holders.
Marchionda will perform five songs from a variety of eras and composers, including Domenico Scarlatti’s “Four Sonatas” and Joaquin Rodrigo’s “Invocation y Danza.”
Marchionda is emerging on the international concert scene as a performer who combines the expressive, colourist playing of the past with a modern technique, flair, imagination, and scholarship. Trained at Yale University’s School of Music and the Cleveland Institute of Music, he has won many international prizes including the Guitar Foundation of America’s International Solo, the Segovia International, and the Manuel de Falla.
The rest of the 2003-2004 Music Mondays schedule is:
November 17, 2008 – Genova & Dimitrov Piano Duo
March 2, 2009 – Martin Bruns, baritone and Jan Philip Schulze, piano
