Segovia-trained local classical guitarist Eric Henderson will perform a 7 p.m. benefit concert, Saturday, Sept. 20, for the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 429 Cypress Dr.
Henderson’s performances cover a vast repertoire with both technical mastery and passionate delivery. A typical concert juxtaposes traditional selections with his arrangement of the Rolling Stones’ “Paint it Black” and one of his own compositions.
After touring for a decade, Henderson returned to his hometown to teach and write. He completed two new recordings, “Notes” and “Turned Up,” adding to the seven previous albums to his credit.
Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Order at eventbrite.
