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.
