From the Athenaeum: The 23rd Athenaeum Summer Festival is a series of four of concerts that will feature pianist Gustavo Romero. For 22 years, the Athenaeum has presented unforgettable festivals featuring virtuoso pianist and San Diego native Gustavo Romero performing the complete piano repertoire of a specific composer. Whether you have been with us all 22 years or have yet to experience the wonder of this artist—who plays from memory—you will not want to miss our upcoming 23rd Summer Festival. Romero, a native San Diegan, first performed at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library as a young boy, and it was with him that the Athenaeum planned its first Summer Festival in 1999, the organization's 100th anniversary.
