Praised by Gramophone for his "stunning technical skill and unfailing musicality" and characterized by Classical Guitar magazine as "a fully enlightened musician of our time," Michael Nicolella is recognized as one of America's most innovative classical guitarist virtuosos. In his concert at Zeitgeist, he will perform music for classical and electric guitar, including works by Steve Reich, J.S. Bach, Hans Werner Henze, Astor Piazzolla, John Fitz Rogers, Jacob Ter Veldhuis, Jimi Hendrix and himself.

Since the passing of Andres Segovia the guitar world has needed an advocate... perhaps Michael Nicolella is that person." - THE WASHINGTON POST
