The guitar is one of the few instruments that "cross" all musical barriers and Mr. Unger plays to extremely varied audiences. As well as the standard classical and baroque repertoire, Marc has a special interest in Spanish and Latin American composers.

Recently interviewed on Atlanta radio, his music was described as "Hauntingly Beautiful!"

In His Own Words

Recently, I've been traveling the world performing my "Marc meets Segovia" tour. With music and stories about the composers, who inspires me, my life and troubles!

Actually, I have two shows. One for the kiddies, at the local school to promote the guitar, music, history, geography, but mostly, I just play and it's free!

The other, is for the grown-ups. It's about the composers, who inspires me, my life and troubles! Like the time I met John Williams and he didn't give me a guitar, although I had better luck with Andres... Again, mostly, I just play, and this one is not free.
