I've been a musician since I was a child and have always dedicated myself to music
There are many, many classical composers: Bach, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Chopin, and from other genres such as Piazzolla, Bolling, Lousier, among many others.
I usually arrive 1 or 2 hours before the event, taking into account the setup, sound check, and the musical program to be played.
I do like it, although it's more difficult to get a good sound from the guitar outdoors, but it's necessary to avoid being in direct sunlight and preferably in a temperate climate.
When it's a concert, I choose the program, but if it's a special event, the client can request the music they want to hear before the event to learn the piece, if it's not in the repertoire.
There are usually good reviews.
According to the event group, the musical genre, ensemble format, sound equipment, and other details will be offered.
