Capilano Universe Lecture: Luis Medina – In the Concrete Jungles of Mexico City: Julio Cesar Oliva’s Missing Guitar Music

Wednesday March 20 @ 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Born in 1947, Julio Cesar Oliva, classical guitar composer and performer, is considered to be one of the greatest in the history of guitar in Mexico. He has an incredibly prolific performing career with over three thousand concerts that took him all over Mexico, Europe and the US, and he has been celebrated by guitar festivals all over Mexico.
