Giacomo Fiore in concert - classical and contemporary guitarist

Starr King Way Performance Series (SKWPS)

Join us for an incredible performance from Italian-born guitarist and musicologist Giacomo Fiore!

Giacomo has premiered more than three dozen new works for justly tuned electric and classical guitars and released several recordings for Other Minds, Populist, Cold Blue, Pinna, Spectropol, Paper Garden Records, and his own impressum.

As a scholar, his research focuses on U.S. experimental music, intonation, and performance; he has published articles in Music Theory Spectrum, the Journal of the Society for American Music, and TEMPO, and he writes occasionally for Classical Guitar and SFCV. He teaches a wide range of historical and practical music courses at the University of San Francisco and UC Santa Cruz. Giacomo is a member of Ninth Planet New Music (the chamber group formerly known as Wild Rumpus) and an occasional performer for New Music Works, sfSound, and other Bay Area organizations.

The concert will take place in the Sanctuary. $20 suggested donation at the door, but no one is turned away for lack of funds.
