Join us December 23rd at the Dante Alighieri Society of Massachusetts where guitarist Robert Bekkers will play some of your favorite classical and festive music from Italy, Spain, Portugal and much more. You will be taken away to different locations by Roberts mastery of the guitar and his lively and exhilarating rendition of each piece of music.
