Noted Guitarist Key de la Torre To Give Recital Rey de la Torre, famed Cu ban g-uitarist, will present his repertoire of music Saturday at 3 p.m. in the Assembly Room of the Memorial Stu dent Center. The program is being sponsored by the MSC recital series in con junction with Pan American Week, now being observed. Having been born in Havana, he started his musical career at five as a pianist there. At the age of 10 he was an accomplished gui tarist. He was sent to Spain to study under Miguel Llobet at the age of 12. While in Spain he made a name for himself as a concert guitarist and as an athlete excell ing in the American sport of base ball. His repertoire contains classi cal, standard, contemporary, self compositions and lesser - known pieces of music. By using this repei’toire as well as faultless hands and the romance of the Spanish guitar as a key, he has unlocked the doors of Carnegie Hall and European, Canadian, Lat- in-American concert halls as well as other townhalls of the 48 states.
