How Ferdinando Carulli’s The Storm Changed My Life
The Love Of Nice and Fileno/The Storm is a 14-minute programmatic solo guitar work by the 19th-century guitarist/composer Ferdinando Carulli. Ben Verdery will present a lecture about why this piece was so healing for him to learn during the early days of the Covid lockdown. He will discuss Carulli’s life, talk in detail about his interpretation, demonstrate the various inventive guitar techniques in the work and finish by playing his new recording of this unusual colorful piece.
The presentation will be followed by our Open Mic. Sign up in advance to play — see the Member Events page for details. NYCCGS Member Events are free and open to all members and first-time guests.
