ACCLAIMED
GUITARIST
RETURNS TO
B.C.

 

cclaimed guitarist Philip

Dent-Candelaria returns to
British Columbia, one year after
his tour of Western Canada
brought him standing ovations
and sold-out concerts. The
talented classical artist will per-
form a free public concert at
Douglas College on Thursday,
March 3] at noon.

Early in life Candelaria studied
piano, but soon fell in love with
the guitar when he and his family
spent a year living in Spain.
Before the age of 25, he was the
winner of several music prizes, in-
cluding two competitions for
young Canadian musicians.. By
now, he has amassed more than a
dozen awards for performance.
He has received the Professional
Study Award, B.C. Cultural
Fund's highest award to an in-
dividual artist.

After studying music history at
UBC and guitar performance at
John Hopkins, he moved to On-
tario, where he teaches guitar at
Cambrian College in Sudbury.

His performances have been
well received by the critics, who
have called him “a musician of
uncommon taste and facility" and
praised his “irresistible natural-
ness." His 1987 tour of Alberta
and B.C. was a convincing suc-
cess, bringing him invitations to
return this year.
