Weekend of August 4, 2012
A Gold-Medal Performance
La Follia is an ancient tune, at least 500 years old. Over the centuries, hundreds of composers have tried their hand at arranging it. Roberto Sierra just might be the most recent in that long line of tunesmiths. His version is only about a decade old. We'll hear guitarist Celil Refik Kaya in Sierra's Folias, which earned him the gold medal at the 2012 JoAnn Falletta International Guitar Competition.
