Guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan In Concert

Acclaimed guitarist and composer Aaron Larget-Caplan returns to Salem State University for a special one-night-only concert. The concert begins with Larget-Caplan’s arrangement of J.S. Bach’s Prelude in C Major, BWV 846 partnered with Vineet Shende’s (Bowdoin College) Carnatic Prelude N. 1, After J.S. Bach, a re-imagining of the prior as if Bach were from South India. The monumental Legend of Hagoromo by Keigo Fujii explores mystical transformation through the 13th century myth, followed by John Cage’s serene In A Landscape, arranged by Larget-Caplan. The evening concludes with the theatrical performance and US premiere of Heretic, a micro-opera for guitarist by Richard Cameron-Wolfe. Inspired by Arthur Machen’s haunting 1907 novel The Hill of Dreams, this realization is a collaboration with Salem State University theatre faculty Jerry Johnson and Aaron Larget-Caplan.
