Manuel Barrueco has established himself as one of the most important guitarists in the world today. Since his dazzling recital debut in Carnegie Hall in 1974, his artistry has continually been described as that of a superb instrumentalist and an elegant musician, with a seductive sound and an uncommon lyrical gift.
His extensive discography on EMI/Angel demonstrates his outstanding versatility, with commanding performances of the works of Bach and Mozart, the great Spanish masters, and the music of jazz greats Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett. His most recent recording, ¡Cuba!, was called “an extraordinary musical achievement” by the San Francisco Chronicle.
Manuel Barrueco began to play the guitar at the age of eight. He attended the Esteban Salas Conservatory in his native Santiago de Cuba. He emigrated with his family to the United States in 1967, later completing his advanced studies at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Maryland, where he now teaches.
The concert will be presented in the Auditorium of the APS Conference Center (Bldg. 402) at Argonne. It is open to the public; no special permit is required to enter the laboratory site.
