Seven Bridges Guitar Festival and Andrew York Concert

The Andrew York Concert: The centerpiece of the Seven Bridges Guitar Festival is the evening concert featuring the legendary Andrew York, one of today’s best-loved composers for classical guitar and an international performer. His compositions blend the styles of ancient eras with modern musical directions, creating music that is at once vital, multi-leveled, and accessible. Andrew received his first GRAMMY award as a member of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet during his sixteen years with the cutting-edge ensemble, and his compositions have been featured on several GRAMMY-winning recordings.
