In a concert of English, Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian music, Oleg Timofeyev and Dan Caraway will showcase their seven historical seven-string guitars, ranging in age from 100 to 250 years. Every instrument has a unique story, and the two artists will make them speak in the most entertaining and informative way.
Oleg Timofeyev is the world’s expert on the history of the seven-string guitar in the Russian Empire, and on the role of Czech, Polish, and Ukrainian musicians in the development of this instrument. Together with his colleague Dan Caraway, he recorded multiple CD albums and tours extensively in the U.S. and Europe.
Free tickets will be given out to those present starting at 2:30 pm
