Our ever-popular Annual Gala Orchestra Concert will feature the Windham Festival Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Robert Manno, along with the debut of guitar virtuoso Jorge Caballero.

The youngest musician and the only guitarist to win the prestigious Naumburg International Competition, Jorge Caballero is known for his dazzling virtuosity, his intense musicality and his spellbinding performances. He is widely regarded as one of the finest guitarists of his generation. Allan Kozinn of the New York Times called him a "superb young guitarist" and praised his rare combination of "a deft, powerful technique and a soft-spoken interpretive persona."

Jorge's solo recitals have included New York's Alice Tully Hall, the Library of Congress, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, Da Camera Society in Los Angeles, New York's Midtown Concert Series, BargeMusic, St. Bartholomew's Church and other national and international venues. He has performed as a soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Orchestra of St. Luke's, the New York Chamber Symphony, the Naples Philharmonic, the Kansas City Chamber Orchestra and the Presidential Symphony Orchestra of Ankara, Turkey, among others.
