Edgar Cruz, an award-winning, fingerstyle guitarist, will be performing LIVE at the Cook Park Library! Having recorded over 16 CDs and two DVDs in styles ranging from flamenco to pop to jazz, Cruz is perhaps best known for his fingerstyle arrangement of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" of which his YouTube video received more than 10,000,000 hits worldwide!
Each year Cruz performs over 200 concerts and has played throughout America, Europe and South America. Cruz offers an incredible live repertoire of "The Greatest Hits of the Guitar". Malaguena, Bohemian Rhapsody, In the Mood, Dueling Banjos, Hotel California, A Classical Medley, Latin Favorites and Medleys on the Fly are just a few examples. Those who have witnessed Cruz's performances immediately become entranced at the precision, speed and complexity with which his fingers strike the strings of his guitar to create a symphony of sound unusual to just one instrument. Audience participation, clapping, singing, dancing, "oles and yee-haws" are all encouraged.
The Lake County Community Concert Association offers this family concert as a gift to the Library District. No registration is required for this FREE event so drop on by with the whole family and enjoy the fun!
