VISIT THE DIARY FOR DETAILS

Italian Guitarist, cellist, singer, and composer Mauro Giuliani (1781 –  1829) was a leading guitar virtuoso of the early 19th century. He defined a new role for the guitar in European music and was acquainted with notable composers such as Rossini and Beethoven.

Spanish guitarist and composer Fernando Sor (1778 – 1839) was praised by his contemporaries as being ‘the best in the world’.

His compositions ranged from opera, ballet and symphonies to numerous pieces for solo classical guitar. 

And after the concert join Richard for a chat at 8.15pm at the Richard Durrant Academy. Just click on the link below – if you don’t have a RDA subscription you can sign up free for 7 days.

These gigs were to mark our journey out of winter, but they have also connected me with many wonderful people at home and abroad. I plan to play more from the studio in the coming months as well as looking forward to appearing at actual venues.
