Jorge Morel, an influential Argentine classical guitarist and composer who added a vast repertoire to his instrument and performed to packed concerts around the world, died Feb. 10 at a hospital in Orlando, Fla. He was 89.
His daughter, Francesca Scibona, attributed the death to an apparent cardiac arrest. He had been living in Florida for about the past 10 years, having moved from his longtime home in the New York borough of Queens.
