An Evening with Guitar Master, Paul Galbraith
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Occidental Center for the Arts
(see times)
Internationally renowned as a brilliant innovator of the classical guitar, Paul Galbraith has been working since the 1980s towards expanding the technical limits of his instrument, besides augmenting the quantity and quality of its repertoire.
These efforts have already resulted in a series of critically acclaimed recordings of works by Bach, Haydn and Brahms, along with his own arrangements of folk tunes from various countries, all of which demonstrate the originality of his musical personality. By exchanging the traditional guitar for the eight-string Brahms Guitar, which he helped to develop, Galbraith found the ideal instrument with which to interpret the challenging Classical transcriptions from his highly personal repertoire.
Program:
Franz Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809)
Sonata in C#m (trans. Em) Hob. XVI: 36
Manuel Ponce (1882 - 1948)
Theme, 20 Variations and Fugue on "Las Folias de España"
---Intermission-----
15 Spanish Pieces-including
Isaac Albeniz (1860 - 1909)
Enrique Granados (1867 - 1916)
