Ben Diamond is a fourth year undergraduate classical guitar student at Memorial University. Ben had a busy year of online activities such as giving 4 online concerts (two of which with the Online Music Guild), releasing his debut CD of Canadian guitar music, and hosting a week long guitar festival with the Atlantic Guitar Society. In 2021, Ben will finish his degree in performance, and will begin his Masters degree in performance in the fall of 2021. In this concert, you will hear a new programme featuring works which will also be performed in his graduation recital (online of course!). With music by Ponce, Kavanagh, Adegoke, J. S.
