Mr. Muratore regularly performs as a solo recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Russia. He has collaborated with numerous chamber ensembles including Emmanuel Music, the Spectrum Singers, Chorus Pro Musica, Alea III, Boston Musica Viva and Counterpoint. Recent appearances as concerto soloist have been with the Ridgefield Symphony, Vermont Symphony, Symphony by the Sea and the Lech (Austria) Classic Festival. The Boston Globe has described him as “a fleet-fingered and musicianly performer” and has characterized his playing as ”unleashing so many different varieties of tone and color in quick succession…a kind of aural iridescence.” John’s live performances have often been featured on NPR, GBH and WCRB Radio’s Classical Performances, and he has recorded for Albany, Pont Neuf and Arabesque Records. Mr. Muratore is an active educator in classical guitar and is on the faculty at Boston University and Dartmouth College and is the coordinator of the guitar program at the All Newton Music School. This concert will benefit First Church in memory of Jeffrey C. Harrison.
