Classical guitarist Marcus Dunleavy at Church of Beethoven-Oak Park

His CD, Emerge, was featured on Chicago’s classical music station WFMT and has drawn praise from legendary Jazz Fusion pioneer Larry Coryell:

“The young master’s sound is advanced beyond his years…..With beautiful technique and a deep and spiritual heart, Marcus shows us the way of the new generation of classical guitarists—a way of romance, of technique in service of the musical message, and in an artistic bent that is at once sentimental and proud.”
