San Francisco Performances in association with OMNI Foundation for the Performing Arts presents The Romeros. The "Royal Family of the Guitar" embarks on a special tour celebrating the 70th birthday of its patriarch and music legend, Pepe Romero. Marking half a century at the top of his game, Pepe stands among the ranks of truly great classical artists that have sustained careers and exceeded their own high standards again and again. About the Romeros, composer Joaquin Rodrigo famously commented, "They are, without a doubt, the grand masters of the guitar" and today represent three generations of this remarkable musical dynasty.
Over half a century after walking onto the world stage as the first classical guitar quartet, The Romeros continue to be a veritable institution in the world of classical music, dazzling countless audiences and winning the raves of reviewers worldwide.
Known to millions as "The Royal Family of the Guitar," the Romeros were founded by the legendary Celedonio Romero with his sons Celin, Pepe and Angel in 1958. The Quartet went through natural transformations, and today consists of the second (Celin & Pepe) and third generations (Lito & Celino). To have so many virtuosi of the same instrument in one family is unique in the world of musical performance, and in the realm of the classical guitar it is absolutely without precedent.
