SUMMARY:Charles Mokotoff Classical Guitar Virtuoso
DESCRIPTION:This is not a MFH event\, however it features classical guitar virtuoso Charles Mokotoff\, who is an MFH Board Member & Chairman of the Scholarship Committe. There are no advance tickets ($20). Box office opens at 4PM. Come early and visit the Frederick Franck sculpture garden. Bring pillows for comfortable seating. Not handicapped accessible.\n\nCharles Mokotoff (http://www.charlesmokotoff.com/) holds Bachelors and Masters degrees in guitar performance from Syracuse University and Ithaca College\, respectively. He has served on the faculties of numerous colleges and universities in New York and the New England area as a lecturer in classical guitar and lute. His career culminated with two Far East tours and a well-received New York City debut at Carnegie Hall in 1987. Most recently\, he has had two performances at the Lincoln Center Performing Arts Library.\n\nClassicalGuitarMusic.org has written that his playing shows “a mix of strong tone\, pianistic at times\, but also capable of beautiful legato phrasing and a natural feel for forward movement.” Earlier in his career\, Mr. Mokotoff was described by the New York Times as “exceptional among debutantes…a thoughtful\, gentlemanly artist\, technically fastidious and able to coax a range of sounds from his instrument.”\nMr. Mokotoff\, severely hard of hearing for a good deal of his life\, is an outspoken proponent of making music with hearing loss.\nFor his return to Pacem in Terris\, in addition to music by genius composers Issac Albeniz and Astor Piazzolla\, he will perform popular favorites by: Gerardo M. Rodríguez (La Cumparsita) and Sebastien Yradior (La Paloma)\, plus music by Fernando Bustamente\, Milonga Jorge Cardoso\, Jorge Morel\, and William Lovelady
