On the arts tip: Classical guitar legend Pepe Romero will be co-curating the annual Guitar Marathon in January along with David Spelman. The theme this time around is ”450 Years of the Spanish Guitar” and performers include Renaissance lute expert Paul O’Dette, California classical guitarist Gyan Riley and Martha Masters. We’ll also be premiering new works by Dominic Frasca and Riley and a New York premiere from Celedonio Romero.

Virtuoso Eliot Fisk will be performing during the evening session, too, as this Guitar Technique Tutor blog notes. Guitar lovers rejoice.
