‘225 Weekender’: Pepe Romero tickles the strings

There are few true living legends in the world of classical music—that is, few who have sustained greatness and grown throughout their careers. Classical guitarist Pepe Romero is such an artist. He has been honored by kings, heads of state and major institutions. But to Romero, his most important contribution has been reaching the common person. He has communicated the richness and beauty of the classical guitar to millions, becoming an ambassador for classical music and the instrument. Catch this legendary performer—and a once-in-a-lifetime performance—at the Manship Theatre this Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets are priced from $45 to $65 and can be purchased here. Find out about more local events happening in the Capital Region this weekend and beyond in the new 225 Weekender e-newsletter here.
