OUTDOOR Guitar Sunday: Hiroya Tsukamoto

This popular series from Portsmouth Public Library and PMAC (Portsmouth Music and Arts Center) is back! Guitar Sundays will continue this summer outdoors, produced and curated by Mitch Shuldman.

Drawing from a rich selection of guitar talent from both New Hampshire and the greater Boston area, the series of recitals will highlight the versatility and range of the guitar from classical to jazz to acoustic.
