Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Music presents Lily Afshar, an Iranian-born classical guitarist, in a free, public concert at 8 p.m., Thursday, April 21 and a free, public master class at 7 p.m., Wednesday, April 20 in the Kresge Theatre, CMU’s College of Fine Arts building.
Boasting international acclaim and celebrity status in Iran, Afshar is the only guitarist from the Middle East with an international performing career and the first woman in the world to receive a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in classical guitar performance. “We are thrilled to introduce Pittsburgh to such an innovative pioneer of the music world and beyond,” said Jim Ferla, artist lecturer in guitar at Carnegie Mellon. “Ms. Afshar’s work appeals to not only the music lover, but also to patrons interested in global politics, women’s studies, Middle Eastern studies and other areas.”
