I must let you know that the brilliant young Australian/American Guitar Virtuoso RUPERT BOYD ( www.rupertboyd.com ) will be giving a demo tomorrow at the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 2:30 free of charge in the Musical Instruments Collection ( Gallery 684 ) during which he will trace the development of he Classical Guitar by playing several instruments from the Museums' Cillection starting with a 19th Century Lacote, formally owned by the Legendary Genius JULIAN BREAM. The demo/trace will end with compositions played on Ruperts' fantastic Greg Smallman and Sons ( 2011 ). I have followed the rise of this great, young virtuoso for over a decade and he has always performed with the highest of musicianship and virtuosity and is one of our truly young greats in the Classical Guitar world. I strongly suggest you make a fast trek tomorrow to this special event. I will be there to catch the magic of RUPERT as he tastes the great instruments which will give us a fine measure of how far the Classical Guitar has come in it's expressive ability and volume projection. I will have more on this great young artist as a followup or lead in to tomorrows' demo.For now I suggest you zoom into his website ( www.rupertboyd.com ) and jump on to You Tube to revel in the wonderful sounds and sights of this brilliant young artist who continues to amaze us with his great playing!
