Ticket prices will be $75, $65, and $55.
Saturday, November 22: The month will conclude with another guitar quartet, this time The Romeros: Celin, Pepe, Celino, and Lito. They will be joined by soprano Amy Goymerac for the world premiere performance of “La Cita,” composed by Douglas Cuomo. Most of the selections on the program will be arrangements, and most of those arrangements were prepared by Pepe. Ticket prices will be $85, $75, and $65.
