Event – Detail

The Classical Guitar Soirée Recital Series at the Athenaeum of Philadelphia is hosted in partnership with the Philadelphia Classical Guitar Society. A Soirée is a lively and intimate gathering that enriches participants' understanding through conversation and music. The classical guitar is often best appreciated and understood in this setting.

The concert starts at 5:30PM. It will be followed by light refreshments and a meet-and-greet with the performers.

Duo Silvio was formed in 2019 to explore repertoire for two baroque lutes. Lutenist Richard Stone, co-founder and co-director of Tempesta di Mare, has performed in solo recitals worldwide. The New York Times has called his playing “beautiful” and “lustrously melancholy,” while the Washington Post described it as having “the energy of a rock solo and the craft of a classical cadenza.” Cameron Welke brings a passionate curiosity and a deep creative drive to all manner of historical plucked instruments and earned a M.M. in historical performance on lute and theorbo from the Peabody Conservatory, where he studied with Richard Stone.
