solo guitar concert

In Hungary, the combination of new music and electric guitar may still seem surprising, although over the past decade the instrument has become a favorite among composers. Samuel Toro Pérez, who is also a composer, arrives in Budapest with a highly colorful and sensitive solo program: performing alone on stage, accompanying the sound of the electric guitar at times with electronics. The program explores the borderlands of contemporary sound worlds, ambient, noise, and delicate textures. Samuel is a Vienna-based guitarist and composer working at the intersection of contemporary music and experimental electronics, and a regular performer at international festivals.
