DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz Baroque Festival presents its Concert II\n\nThe CZAR's GUITARS: 
 An Evening in Imperial Russia\nOleg Timofeyev and John Schneiderman 
 (Russian seven-string guitars)\n\nFriday, March 14, 2008 at 7:30 PM ~ UCSC 
 Music Ctr Recital Hall\n\nJoin the legendary court of Nicholas II in a 
 program featuring rare and delightful 19th-century arrangements of arias by 
 Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857) performed on Russian 7-string 
 guitars.\n\nProgram & Artist Information: The Russian 7-string guitar, an 
 instrument that differs significantly from the Spanish guitar in 
 construction, tuning, and technique, became popular in Russia in the late 
 18th  and 19th centuries. The members of the famous “Mighty Handful” 
 – Mussorgsky, Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov, etc. – were not even born yet, 
 but virtuosic and original music was already being written for the Russian 
 guitar. But after the rise in popularity of the Spanish guitar, following 
 the 1926 Russian tour of the famous guitarist Andres Segovia, fewer and 
 fewer people in Russia still played the national variety of the instrument, 
 and the fascinating art of the Russian guitar tradition was neglected even 
 in Russia. \n\nStarting in the 1990s, the guitarist and musicologist Oleg 
 Timofeyev began researching and reviving this tradition and introduced this 
 beautiful music to Western audiences. For the first time, this beautiful 
 music was introduced to Western audiences. On one of his tours, Timofeyev 
 teamed up with John Schneiderman (himself a virtuosic player of the baroque 
 lute and the 19th-century Western guitar), who was quite interested in 
 pursuing a project involving Russian music. This collaboration was the 
 beginning of The Czar's Guitars! \n\nTheir March 14 concert for SC Baroque 
 Festival features 19th-century transcriptions of the works by Mikhail 
 Glinka (these guitar part books are associated with the St. Petersburg 
 guitarist Vladimir Morkov, who knew Glinka personally and made a number of 
 expert arrangements of the composer’s symphonic and operatic works for 2 
 guitars). Although better known than the Russian guitar tradition, 
 Glinka’s beautiful music is still too rarely heard in the U.S.\n\nTICKETS
