Lynchburg College's Daura Gallery will host another in its series of Select Sundays in the Daura Gallery, Dillard Fine Arts Center, on February 24 at 2 p.m. The program will explore "The French Perspective" and will feature well-known classical guitarist William Feasley performing works by Napoléon Coste, Robert de Visée, Claude Debussy, Gabriel Fauré, Andreas Pflüger, Jean Françaix, and Jacques Ibert. Feasley will perform on guitar and theorbo, a long-necked lute.
Recognized as one of today's top classical guitarists, Feasley is the first guitarist to receive the Peabody Conservatory's coveted Artist Diploma. He is also the recipient of numerous prizes and awards, including a gold medal in the 1987 Panhellenic Guitar Competition in Athens, Greece, the 1990 and 1995 Baltimore Chamber Music Award, and a 1996 Governor's Citation for Outstanding Achievements in the Arts in Maryland.
The Select Sundays series is a new feature of the Daura Gallery, in which the Gallery opens one Sunday a month and presents a special presentation by a well-known artist. The February program is made possible by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Office of Statewide Partnerships, and is free and open to the public.
