Pepe Romero’s accomplishments as a recitalist, soloist with orchestra, member of the famed Romeros Quartet, and recording artist are known throughout the music world. Always an audience favorite with his friendly, lively stage presence, he is also an internationally known virtuoso.
He has given the world premiere performances of many compositions, including Joaquin Rodrigo’s Concierto para una fiesta, de Madina’s Concierto Flamenco and Concierto de Malaga by Pepe’s father, Celedonio Romero.
These works are numbered among his over two dozen recordings which include the complete Boccerini guitar quintets, all of Maruo Giuliani’s concerti for guitar and orchestra, and flamenco masterpieces. Mr. Romero’s program will consist primarily of Spanish music, including Leyenda and Sevilla by Isaac Albeniz, Sonata la Espanola by Joaquin Rodrigo, and Suite Castellana by Frederico Moreno Torroba.
