Fretting the Future — a contemporary guitar series
Where classical precision meets experimental audacity.
Classical guitar meets its future shock. Fretting the Future is where tradition collides with innovation, transforming six strings and twenty-four frets into an experimental playground of sound. This isn't your conservatory recital—it's a sonic laboratory where prepared guitars sing through contact microphones, electronics bend acoustic reality, and contemporary composers push the instrument beyond recognition.
Each performance in the series unveils music that couldn't exist anywhere else, commissioned specifically for the unique intersection of classical technique and experimental vision. From the angular compositions of Frank Zappa to brand-new works by today's most daring voices, Fretting the Future explores what happens when a guitarist stops playing it safe and starts playing it strange.
This is guitar music for the curious, the adventurous, and the unconvinced. Where other soloists retreat into repertoire, Fretting the Future advances into the unknown. Every concert is a premiere. Every premiere is a revelation. Every revelation changes what you thought the guitar could do.
Witness the instrument's next evolution. Experience sounds you've never heard from six strings. Discover why the future of guitar isn't just being written—it's being fretted, one impossible note at a time.
