Guitar is my great passion. I look forward to sharing it with you.

COMPOSER

As a composer/arranger I have written many pieces for classical guitar. Creating new music is definitely my passion. And as an avid student of the great film scores, I look forward to creating my own when the right project presents itself.

CONCERTS

Performances in private homes, libraries, museums, events. Solo concerts, paired with other instruments and/or a vocalist, I have an extensive performance experience and repertoire.

 Neal is the host of the music series An Evening of Classical Guitar at The Blackstone. This monthly series is dedicated to the classical guitar-it’s history and development but of course primarily to its music. Neal Fitzpatrick will present a regular, monthly program of music for classical guitar. Each session will feature a different era, genre, or style from the vast repertoire for classical guitar. Programs will include music from the major eras of Western Music encompassing the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic eras, as well as works from the 20th Century and Modern era-the body of music for classical guitar is indeed an abundance of riches! Neal will sometimes be joined by his colleagues in the Connecticut chamber music scene and his students for solo and ensemble performances.
