Besides Traveling Light (a new album of jazz standards produced in parallel to Spectral Evolution), Guitar Concert invites the audience to reconnect with landmarks of Toral discography, including pieces from Sound Mind Sound Body or Violence of Discovery and Calm of Acceptance, along with material from his acclaimed Spectral Evolution and spontaneous moments like the new piece Layers.
Guitar Concert draws from a larger repertoire which is being prepared for live performance in its entirety, expanding into a flexible guitar concert with an interchangeable, even customizable set list. It's Toral's ongoing movement towards a a wider understanding and more engaged connection to the guitar, more committed to taking risks and challenges.
A perfect successor to the unanimously well received Spectral Evolution Live performances, Guitar Concert is also a celebration of beauty and light, a humble attempt to honor the notion of music as a “healing force of the universe”.
