The Saturday morning concerts held in the Reading Room are free and open to the public.

Janson offers original finger-style acoustic guitar music with folk roots, world-beat grooves, post-Windham Hill guitar influences, jazz aesthetics, and Celtic elements woven into a unique and compelling sound. He began playing guitar at age seven and started composing as a young teen. He attended the New England Conservatory of Music and later attained his Master of Guitar Performance degree, where his passion for folk, world and traditional music, especially Celtic, was formed.

Janson won an NAR Lifestyle Music Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for his “Beautiful Day” CD. He is a faculty member of the Performing Arts Department at the University of Massachusetts Boston, and has been called “the perfect combination of instrumentalist and composer, entertainer and educator” by the WUMB Music Festival.
