The experience of hearing music composed or arranged for three guitars performed in concert doesn’t come around that often. But that’s exactly what those who attend the Front Row at Bop Shop Records livestream on Saturday, Mar. 13 will get, when Trio Ghidorah releases its debut album “Dances & Fantasies.” The album, as realized by three doctoral graduates from Eastman School of Music, contains plenty of lush and unexpected arrangements of compositions, ranging from Renaissance music by John Dowland to a Mozart string quartet, to the 20th-century Minimalism of Philip Glass.
