Description
Brilliantly innovative classical guitarist Paul Galbraith will present a solo concert including works by Bach, Mozart and Albeniz in the intimate Studio Theatre. Galbraith's guitar has added high and low strings and is supported by a metal endpin which rests on a wooden resonance box. Both the guitar's design and Galbraith’s playing style are considered groundbreaking developments in the history of the instrument. Galbraith’s recording of the complete Bach violin works was nominated for a Grammy Award® for Best Solo Instrumental Album. It reached the Billboard Top 10 and was chosen as one of the two best CDs of the year by Gramophone Magazine, which called it, “a landmark in the history of guitar recordings.”
