Spanish Guitar Landscapes | An Intimate Night of Classic Repertoire at Sala Quetzal
Sala Quetzal at San Miguel’s Biblioteca Pública hosts an intimate evening of Spanish classical guitar as Miguel Ángel Omaña presents Paisajes de la Guitarra Clásica Española on Tuesday, January 13 at 6:00 p.m. Designed as a journey through the instrument’s golden repertoire, the program highlights the color and expressive depth of the Spanish guitar in a setting known for its close connection between artist and audience.
Works by Isaac Albéniz, Francisco Tárrega, Miguel Llobet and Gaspar Sanz unfold like soundscapes, moving from vibrant dances to pieces that feel almost like whispered stories from another time. Renowned for a refined technique and an interpretive style that favors nuance and intimacy, Omaña draws on a career spanning Baroque to contemporary Latin American music to create a contemplative, emotionally rich recital.
Tickets cost 220 pesos and function as a donation to La Biblioteca, making the concert both a cultural highlight and a way to support one of San Miguel de Allende’s key community institutions. For residents, expats and visiting music lovers, Spanish Guitar Landscapes offers a rare chance to experience Spain’s classical heritage up close, in the quiet of a historic reading room turned concert hall.
