Guitarist Loren Fortna performs An American Rhapsody. The performance is inspired by Owen Middleton’s single-movement sonata of the same name.  This solo, classical guitar program features works by living U.S. guitarist-composers.  These works successfully fuse modernisms with hints of ragtime, show tunes, impressionism, and bluegrass.  An American Rhapsody not only aptly describes the rhapsodic nature of the work whence it came, but the larger than life American spirit found in the vast compositional styles of the rest of the program.
