Fremont Symphony Orchestra is sponsoring a Concert with Chris Proctor on
March 4, Friday, 7 pm at the Fremont County Library Carnegie Room. The
concert is open to the public with a suggested donation of $10/person.
Chris Proctor is known around the Western world as one of the modern masters
of fingerstyle guitar- composing, arranging, and performing complex
orchestral music with only one set of hands on six and twelve-string
steel-string guitars. Since winning the U.S. National Fingerstyle
Championship, he has toured constantly across North America and Europe,
releasing 10 recordings of his sparkling compositions and arrangements. His
music is rooted in classic Americana- spiced with folk, Celtic, jazz, pop
and classical flavors.
Here is one reviewer’s attempt to characterize the essence of Chris
Proctor’s music: “What to call his unique mélange of styles? There’s an
aspect of Americana in the echoes of Appalachian and old-timey styles that
are apparent in just about every track, but there are also elements of jazz,
Celtic folk, and a dash of blues in here somewhere. What Proctor does is
create guitar music that reflects the whole heritage of the instrument and
still has his own distinct stamp — a tall order, but he’s up to the job”
