Romero Classical Guitar Quartet Benefit Concert

World-renowned Romero Classical Guitar Quartet will perform a benefit concert on June 4, at 7pm, at St. James Catholic Church in Solana Beach in celebration of the centennial of St. James. The quartet was founded 50 years ago by the legendary Celedonio Romero with his sons Celin, Pepe, and Angel. Today, the quartet consists of the second (Celin and Pepe) and third generation (Lito and Celino). The Romeros have performed multiple times at the White House, have appeared at the Vatican in a special concert for Pope John Paul II, and in 1986 gave a command performance for the Prince of Wales. His Majesty King Carlos I of Spain knighted Pepe and Celin into the order of “Isabel la Catolica” in the year 2000. This concert will be dedicated to the memory of Celedonio and his wife, Angelita. Tickets are $60 per person (includes one glass of complimentary wine during intermission). Proceeds will benefit the St. James Music Ministry and St. James Academy Scholarship Program.
