Belgian classical guitar virtuoso Jerome Mouffe has dedicated his life to the optimization of the instrument’s abilities, and holds the unique distinction of being the first guitarist to receive a Doctoral of Music Arts degree from the New England Conservatory of Boston. Boasting an extensive career as a chamber performer, instructor, and soloist, his recorded music career has focused on 19th-century Italian virtuoso music, including impressive transcriptions from famous violin caprices for the guitar. The evening will be hosted by the South Bay Guitar Society as part of a series of showcases of the masters of the instrument.
