Australian classical guitarist Alejandro Aguanta will perform the 2026 John and Trudy Watson Classical Guitar Series concert at Arkansas Tech University on Friday, Sept. 25.
The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Witherspoon Auditorium, 407 West Q Street in Russellville. Admission will be free and open to the public. The event is sponsored by the John and Trudy Watson Annual Classical Guitar Series Endowment and the ATU Department of Music.
Aguanta is described on his website as “a versatile, award-winning musician offering soulful sounds” and an artist who possesses “technical skill, an impressive, diverse repertoire and an undeniable passion for music and storytelling.”
“As a classical guitarist, his attention to detail and technical precision is of professional standards, and he has a deep understanding of the music he performs,” reads another portion of Aguanta’s website. “Whether playing intricate pieces by Bach or sweeping melodies by The Beatles, Alejandro always manages to capture the emotion and depth of the music. His performances are a true testament to his talent and dedication to the craft, and he has consistently left audiences in awe with his virtuosity and artistry.”
The annual classical guitar concert at ATU is made possible through the generosity of Dr. John W. Watson, distinguished professor of mathematics and former vice president for academic affairs at ATU, and his wife, Trudy.
Those wishing to provide additional support for the series may do so with gifts to the Arkansas Tech University Foundation by calling (479) 968-0400.
