Knoxville Guitar Society: Rupert Boyd and Laura Metcalf

The Knoxville Guitar Society presents national and international performing artists featuring classical and fingerstyle guitar and the guitar in combination with other instruments such as the violin and cello. New York-based Australian classical guitarist Rupert Boyd has been described by The Washington Post as “truly evocative,” by Gramophone as a “fine guitarist,” and by Classical Guitar Magazine as “a player who deserves to be heard.”  Laura Metcalf, noted for her “gorgeous cello legatos” (Washington Post) and her “sensitive, melodic touch” (BlogCritics Magazine), is a member of the highly acclaimed string quintet Sybarite5, and cello-percussion quartet Break of Reality. Their 2017 album, Boyd Meets Girl,  debuted at #3 on the Billboard Traditional Classical charts and received the following review in Gramophone: “They play like one, with a harmony of purpose as sure as their intonation.”

Tickets are available at the door, which opens at 6:30 PM. Concerts are open to all ages. Admission prices are $20 adult, $5 for students age 12 to 18, and children under 12 admitted free with adult admission. A free reception follows each concert.
