Join us in concert with the Hanser-McClellan Guitar Duo to celebrate the life of Inside Classical Guitar host John Clayton.

Inside Classical Guitar is a one-hour weekly radio show on Classic 107.3 FM featuring the music of the classical guitar. It has run continuously since May 2013, with John Clayton as both show host and producer. Before his passing on July 5 of this year, John had created a list of his favorite guitar pieces, and had received the promise of his friends John McClellan and Kirk Hanser to play some of them at the celebration of his life held later that month. John and Kirk have chosen some of this special music that John Clayton loved to create this tribute concert that he would certainly have loved to hear.

We’ll hear music from Celso Machado, Johann Kaspar Mertz, Dominico Scarlatti, and Paulo Bellinati. As an added bonus, the performance will also feature the world  premiere of Aquarelle Latino in its original configuration for two guitars  and string quartet, a three-movement work written for and dedicated to John McClellan by Argentinian composer Jorge Morel (1931-2021) in 2006. It will include members of the Webster University Orchestra.
