Il Progetto
An investigation of Eastern Cultural Influences in the classical guitar solo repertoire
“Can Eastern cultures become a more integral part of the classical guitar’s cultural identity through repertoire influenced by these cultures?”
For this artistic project, I aim to explore the ways in which cultural elements from Eastern cultures may inspire repertoire for the solo classical guitar. Through this repertoire, I shall examine how such cultural influences may promote Eastern cultures to performers and audiences of the classical guitar.
In doing so, the cultural horizons of the classical guitar world may be broadened to represent a greater variety of cultures that also mirrors the growing global community of the classical guitar.
“The guitar is an expression of cultures. Through different cultures we are able to appreciate our shared humanity with the beauty of this instrument”.
