BG guitar virtuoso performs at library
Join the Wood County District Public Library for a live performance from Bowling Green guitar virtuoso, the Music Thief, on Saturday at 2 p.m. in the atrium, 251 N. Main St.
In this concert, the Music Thief will perform a legendary arrangement of “Gustav Holst’s The Planets Suite” for solo guitar. This arrangement is just under one hour in length and has seven movements, each depicting a Greek or Roman god or goddess. Each movement reflects a different guitar “superpower,” just as each god and goddess has their own powers, strengths and symbols.
Thomas Wheeler (the Music Thief) premiered his arrangement in 2020 during his master’s senior recital at Arizona State University. He will also be performing this arrangement at the prestigious Celedonio Romero Guitar Institute in June. To learn more, visit themusicthief.com.
