Faculty member to perform in upcoming guitar festival
The 2007 Tennessee Guitar Festival, which consists of five consecutive nights of guitar concerts by top guitar virtuosos, will be held at 8 p.m. beginning March 16 in the T. Earl Hinton Music Hall of the Wright Music Building.
Opening night of the festival will feature MTSU faculty member William Yelverton performing on both lute and guitar, along with duos with flutist Deanna Hahn. Roger Hudson and percussionist David Pruett will round out the evening with a performance on guitar and oud, a Middle Eastern instrument.
"We like to have something different every year in the Tennessee Guitar Festival. Michael is definitely unique," Yelverton said. "He will play a program with both steel string and classical guitar that will include his own works as well as arrangements of pop and rock standards."
The festival, the largest of its kind in the state, will also feature three master classes, which will conclude on March 21.
All concerts and master classes are free and open to the public.
For more information on the Tennessee Guitar Festival as well as a schedule of events call 898-2493 or visit www.mtsu.edu/~yelverto/guitfest.html.
