This was a wonderful concert by Loren C. Fortna. “Mertz in meinem Herzen” is a program of solo guitar works of the 19th-century Hungarian guitarist-composer Johann Kaspar Mertz. The works in the program range from quaint, artful character pieces to dazzling opera fantasies, all of which comprise a riveting collection of virtuosic 19th-century salon music. Loren Fortna has performed throughout North America, from New Jersey to Vancouver (BC) as a soloist, accompanist, ensemble member and conductor. He has worked with award-winning conductors and composers, most notably Owen Middleton, Patrick Burns and William Payn. Fortna played a formidable classical guitar concert, and at the end gave a short interview to First Coast.TV.
