Join Biola Conservatory for the second concert of our guest artist series! Eric Henderson first picked up the guitar at the age of six and has been playing ever since. At the age of 12 Eric had the opportunity to play for Andres Segovia; as a result Segovia invited Eric to study with him in Madrid, Spain, making Eric the youngest and one of the few people to ever study privately with the Maestro. During his four years of study in Spain, Eric also had the opportunity to study with Aureo Herrero, Ernesto Bitetti, Emilio Pujol and also with the great composer Federico Moreno Torroba. Having logged ten European and nine American tours, as well as a tour of Russia and Japan, Eric returned to his hometown, Laguna Beach, where he resides with his wife, Prof. Virginia Mann. When not performing he spends his time composing, teaching and contributing to the development of new techniques for the guitar. Eric has recorded numerous albums for several major labels including JVC, and MCA, featuring a variety of classical masterpieces as well as his own unique contemporary compositions. Admission: $17 general admission, $12 Faculty/Staff/Senior/Alumni; $7 students
