Oscar Ghiglia

In 2010, the famed Italian classical guitarist and protégé of Andres Segovia, Oscar Ghiglia, participated in Northwestern University’s annual Segovia Classical Guitar Series. That’s when he performed on Live From WFMT, along with guitarist Elena Papandreou, and the founders of the Segovia Series, the Chicago-based guitar duo of Anne Waller and Mark Maxwell. Oscar Ghiglia died in March 2024, aged 86, and we remember him tonight with this treasured archive hour from the past. (PRETAPED)
