A tireless researcher as well as an artfully engaging performer, Dr. Andrew Flory has thrilled music lovers from around the world. He will perform a medley of arrangements from classical composers on the theorbo and guitar at 7:30 p.m. Friday, August 22 at the historic Allen Christian Church in Allen Heritage Village, 450 E. St. Mary Dr.
Currently, Flory teaches at Muziek school Lochristi and Academie Merksem in Belgium.
The theorbo is a plucked string instrument in the lute family. It features an extended neck that allows for a deeper brass range. It was developed in Italy during the Baroque period to provide a powerful sound for vocal performances, and it is often larger than a standard lute due to its extended neck.
In 2024, Dr. Flory received a doctorate in early music, and a performer’s certificate in classical guitar from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. As a multi-instrumentalist and early music specialist, Dr. Flory captivates audiences with his colorful and nuanced repertoire that spans over 500 years. For his doctorate, he arranged Mauro Giuliani’s Opus 30 Guitar Concerto for 3 guitars.
Sponsored by the Allen Public Library, the concert is free. Call 214-509-4911 for additional information.
