Theorbo and Classical Guitar Concert

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 the historic Allen Christian Church in Allen Heritage Village.

In 2024, Dr. Flory received his 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 three guitars.

The theorbo is a plucked string instrument in the lute family. It features an extended neck that allows for a deeper bass range and is often larger than a standard lute. It was developed in Italy during the Baroque period to provide a powerful sound for vocal performances.

This concert is free to attend, no registration or tickets required. Events at the Allen Heritage Village will not be streamed live.
