The UNLV Performing Arts Center opens its Classical Guitar Series at 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 13 with Scott Tennant, a founding member of the Grammy Award-winning L.A. Guitar Quintet.

Tennant is a favorite guest artist on music series and major festivals around the world. Past seasons have taken him to festivals in Spain, Milan, Sao Paulo, Tokyo, Osaka, Paris, Orleans, Germany, Norway, Mexico, and across the U.S. and Canada. He is well known for his recordings of Joaquin Rodrigo and equally praised for interpretations of early music and the guitar's classical repertoire.
