Listen to The World Premiere of Andrew York's
We’re very proud to announce that we have finally released the video with the world premiere of Andrew York’s composition, “Portrait of Tárrega.” recorded on an 1883 Antonio de Torres “SE 49” (ex Francisco Tárrega). GSI commissioned this composition and funded it with the help of many generous supporters who contributed to this project in our recent fundraiser.
“Portrait of Tárrega” is based on Tárrega’s style and themes. Andrew York, not only agreed to our commission but also dedicated a large portion of donations raised above the fundraising goal to the GSI Foundation, with the aim of supporting music education in public schools.
You may see the full performance video below. If you’d like to purchase the score, please visit Andrew York’s website.
