Richard Ullman will be presenting a wide range of classical guitar pieces at the Stone Church, at the corner of Main and Grove streets in Brattleboro. The music will take the listener on a tour from 16th century Italy, to early 18th century Germany, through 19th and 20th century Catalonia, with pieces by Albeniz and Mompou, ending up back in the States, with contemporary American guitar selections.  Many of these pieces are rarely heard, but will regale. The Stone Church is an excellent acoustic venue for classical guitar. Come and enjoy!

Richard Ullman will be presenting a wide range of classical guitar pieces that will take the listener on a tour from 16th century Italy, to early 18th century Germany, through 19th and 20th century Catalonia, with pieces by Albeniz and Mompou, ending up back in the States, with contemporary American guitar selections.

Ullman is continually searching for interesting pieces and refining his technique to play in a myriad of classical styles. Many of the pieces on Saturday’s program are rarely heard but are sure to please. The Stone Church itself is particularly well suited to the sound of the classical guitar with its warm acoustics and pleasant lighting.

Ullman has been a teacher at the Brattleboro Music Center since 1991. He began his teaching career in 1971 and is fond of saying that the BMC is the best music school he's ever been part of. Richard Ullman received his BA from Harvard College and his MFA in Early Music from Sarah Lawrence College - where he taught for eleven years. Ullman has performed widely and has also taught at Tufts, Concordia, Central Connecticut State, Green Mountain College, and at Castleton College for fourteen years. A graduate of the Kodaly Center of America in Massachusetts and the Kodaly Pedagogical Institute in Hungary, Ullman also served as accompanist on lute and guitar for the English song classes of Sir Peter Pears at the Britten-Pears School for Advanced Musical Studies in Aldeburgh, England.

Some of Ullman credits include his winning a national guitar competition in Washington, D.C., and even a screen credit: Ullman can be heard playing in the movie Meet the Parents.

"Richard's recitals are always a treat," said Sabine Rhyne. "He is very thoughtful with his musical selections, and they often span a wide variety of styles. This program is no different. He plays a beautiful and soothing instrument beautifully; he brings his audiences along his musical journey in a seamless and comfortable way. It's sure to be a wonderful end to your evening out!"

The Brattleboro Music Center Faculty Recital featuring guitarist Richard Ullman will be held on Saturday, April 2, 7:30 pm at The Stone Church on Main Street and Grove Streets in Brattleboro, Vermont.
