Boston GuitarFest celebrates the rich tradition of Spanish classical guitar

It takes only four unresolved chords dancing across the strings of a classical guitar to evoke an entire nation's history and tradition. In the words of the renowned classical guitarist Eliot Fisk, "You hear those four chords, you're not going to think of anything but Spain."
These lingering notes are the star of Fisk's Boston GuitarFest XI, called "¡Viva España!" The festival is currently in full swing until June 19. It features youth workshops, competitions and performances. The theme is what Artistic Director Fisk describes as "the agony and ecstasy of the Spanish experience."
