Southwest Chamber Music, in collaboration with the Luckman Fine Arts Complex, will present Music Unwrapped in the Luckman Intimate Theatre at California State University, Los Angeles. Music Unwrapped is a free family series where audiences learn about music through various compositions and interaction with prominent musicians and composers.

This special program will feature John Schneider, an internationally recognized guitarist and acclaimed host of KPFK’s Global Village. Mr. Schneider will focus on the evolution of the classical guitar and its immense repertoire. He will discuss his career as a guitarist and perform compositions from the past four centuries by Isaac Albéniz, John Dowland, Johanne Sebastian Bach, Fernando Sor, Mauro Giuliani, Agustín Barrios, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and Mason Williams.

Mr. Schneider will “unwrap” the music with examples, questions and answers with the audience, and insights into the preparation and performance of the works presented. Click here for more information about Music Unwrapped.
