Jeremy Mayne and Mickey Jones, also known as the New Mexico Guitar Duo, will be traveling up the Hill to perform in the Guitars and Gateaux concert at 7 p.m. today at Fuller Lodge.
They are both seasoned pros within the concert series. Maynes has performed a solo concert in the past; Jones brought the Albuquerque Honors Guitar Quartet to the series and Maynes and Jones concluded the series last year.
“We just really like performing in the series. (The series) itself is wonderful, very intimate, a perfect venue for classical guitar. (It’s) a little bit smaller and intimate, which is always good for classical guitar,” Jones said.
He added Los Alamos is a great community for classical guitar. Many residents know classical guitar, understand it and like it.
“(It’s) always a pleasant place to play because of that,” Jones said.
The program will feature a couple music pieces from early 19th century, which is an important era for classical guitar, he said. The 19th century contains a really strong portion of the repertoire for the guitar.
One highlight, he said, would be a tango from Piazolla’s “Tango Suite.” Piazolla, Jones said, is a great Argentine composer of the 19th century.
