Tucson Guitar Society: Joaquin Clerch, guitar and Elena Rivera, soprano

Guest Artists, Guitar Sunday January 25, 2026 - 7:00p.m. to 8:00p.m.

Venue: Holsclaw Hall

Renowned Mexican soprano Elena Rivera studied in Spain where she became known for her mastery of zarzuela and received the Lola Rodríguez Aragón award for being the most outstanding student of her generation. She was nominated for the 2020 Latin Grammy in the category of Best Classical Music Album with the Latin American Quartet for their album The Juliet Letters (composer Elvis Costello).

Joaquín Clerch is both a classical guitarist and composer. He is a close friend and protégé of Cuban guitarist and composer Leo Brouwer, one of the defining influences on his career as a performer and a composer. Clerch?s composition ?Yemaya? won first prize in both the 1987 National Cuban Composition Competition and the 1987 Toronto International Guitar Competition. In 1999 Joaquín Clerch was appointed as a professor of guitar at the Robert Schumann University in Düsseldorf.
Eliot Fisk described Joaquín as the outstanding guitarist of his generation worldwide.
