Award-winning classical guitarist Andrew Oswinkle will be featured in a 30-minute concert on First Friday, June 7, at 8 p.m. at First Reformed Church, 40 E. Orange St., Lancaster. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m.

The program will include selections from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1, "Vals" Opus 8 No. 4 by Agustin Barrios, "Asturias" by the Spanish composer Isaac Albeniz, and Oswinkle's own arrangement of the hymn "Be Thou My Vision."

Oswinkle was born and raised in Baltimore and received his master's degree in guitar performance and pedagogy from the Conservatory of the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University. While there, he was selected to represent his studio in Peabody's Friday Noon concert series and had many masterclasses with renowned guitarists such as Andrew Zohn, Allan Neave, and Sergio Assad. After his first year of study at Peabody, Oswinkle began participating in competitions throughout the region and setting up his own concerts locally. In 2019, he placed third in the Philadelphia Classical Guitar Competition and placed as a semifinalist in his first-ever appearance in the Appalachian GuitarFest Solo Guitar Competition. Since then, he has continued competing, receiving second place at the 2022 Southern Guitar Competition and advancing to the semifinals in many other competitions.

Since graduating, Oswinkle has been a teacher and regular performer in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C., areas. He continues to study with prominent guitarists and attend festivals and competitions. He also brings music into the local community by playing for local events, schools, and nontraditional venues.
