Building on last year’s sold-out event, the New York Guitar Festival and WNYC’s New Sounds present a four-week series that features a diverse cast of guitar slingers performing newly commissioned works and special collaborations.  The festival will take over The Greene Space stage every Thursday evening, from May 18 to June 8, featuring multiple short sets and onstage interviews with New Sounds host  John Schaefer .  

On May 25th the series will feature the sharp-edged indie rocker  Margaret Glaspy  and  Julian Lage , one of the most formidable jazz guitarists of his generation. The highlight of this event is likely to be the two guitarists performing a set of works together.
