Program

Tom will enchant you with a selection of the most beloved melodies, romances, and serenatas in the history of music, complemented by his own recent compositions.

The program begins with famous 18th century Spanish Romance followed by the Canção de Amor da Floresta (Song of Love from the Forest of Amazon) by famous Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959). Then Tom will take you on a musical space-time journey through Spain, Catalonia, France, Poland, Germany, Brazil, Uruguay, medieval England and our beloved Australia.

The program features Serenata Española by Joaquin Malats (1872-1912), originally composed for piano and orchestra. Tom will play the Serenata on guitar with his own orchestra.
