Program notes
A documentary portrait of one of today's greatest guitarists, a trailblazer on her instrument and in classical music.
Sharon Isbin is one of today's biggest names in the world of guitar: a Grammy-winning artist celebrated for her incredible virtuosity and sensitivity, a trailblazer who has expanded the limits of her instrument and its repertoire. But her journey has not been an easy one, especially in the male-dominated field of her instrument. In this one-hour documentary, filmmaker Susan Dangel shows what it took, telling the story through interviews with the Isbin and her colleagues, and footage of concerts and rehearsals.
