Classical guitarist Peter Fletcher to perform free concert at Georgetown Library

The Georgetown Library is pleased to welcome Peter Fletcher to town for a classical guitar concert on Saturday evening, January 31, at 7:00 pm.

Although based in Detroit and New York, Peter has performed for the Georgetown Library several times, and it’s always been a great treat.

Fletcher began his journey in classical guitar at the young age of seven under the tutelage of renowned classical guitar instructor, John Sutherland. His dedication and talent led him to a significant milestone when he became the youngest student to perform in a week-long Master Class conducted by maestro José Tomás, the teaching assistant of Andrés Segovia in Spain. Playing Bach and Carcassi compositions, Fletcher showcased his exceptional skills and musicality.

Peter Fletcher made his formal debut in 1983 under the prestigious Brasstown Concert Association in North Carolina. His performance earned high  praise for his technical facility, highlighting the nuances, poetical phrasing, dynamic and tonal changes, harmonics, and cadences that left a lasting impression on his audience. Fletcher continued to enhance his expertise by attending Master Classes with renowned guitarists like David Leisner, David Russell, Oscar Ghiglia, and Pepe Romero, gaining recognition for his performances and receiving numerous awards.

He has recorded several CDs of classical music during his career as well as made numerous radio and television appearances and performed at major venues across the United States, including the prestigious Carnegie Hall.

The Georgetown Library is privileged to offer this concert to the public at no charge thanks to the generous support of the Friends of the Georgetown Library.  You will not want to miss his performance.
