Classical Guitarist Jeff Bianchi to perform at Asheboro library

Jeff Bianchi

ASHEBORO – Guitarist Jeff Bianchi has performed nationally with country music acts, but his current tour, which includes a stop at the Asheboro Public Library, shows off his classical skills.

Bianchi will perform music from the Baroque period (1600-1750) as well as modern works from Brazil and Argentina during a concert at 6 p.m. Tuesday, November 3. His performance, sponsored by Friends of the Library, is free and the public is invited.

“The classical guitar possesses a certain poetic quality that is not found in any other instrument,” Bianchi says.

The Williamston, N.Y., native began performing at weddings and cafes while still in his teens. The attention he received as he began playing concerts throughout western New York led to appearances at prestigious guitar festivals.

From 2005-2007, Bianchi toured with country acts Young Guns and Chace Roberts. He began solo classical tours in 2009, and has performed throughout the southeast, Texas and the mountain west.

He lives in Lanier Harbor near Buford, Ga.

The library is located at 201 Worth Street.
