TCFA will present Serenade - Compositions for Solo Guitar, a concert of solo guitar pieces
composed and performed by Bill Gregg, on Sunday, March 26, 2023 from 4-6PM in the auditorium of the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts.

There is no admission charge for the concert. Instead, we’re asking for donations to fund the conservatory’s mission of promoting the arts in our community.

Bill Gregg began writing guitar studies for his students in the early 1980’s. Since then, he has continued to compose and perform a wide range of guitar music. He has several CDs that offer guitar improvisations with electronic synthesizers, including one album of live performances at the Trumansburg Conservatory.

For this program he will present selections from his solo works composed over the last forty-five years. The pieces range from the first simple guitar studies meant to teach technique and music theory to more complex and dramatic 12 string and finger style instrumentals in alternate guitar tunings. Bill’s philosophy of composition is to write pieces that emphasize simplicity, beauty and emotional feeling instead of pyrotechnical displays of virtuosity. In this program he will demonstrate that philosophy in a variety of rarely heard solo guitar pieces.
