![]() Karin Schaupp Plays Rodrigo RAVEL Pavane pour une infante défunte RODRIGO Concierto de Aranjuez RIMSKY-KORSAKOV Scheherazade Christopher Dragon conductor |
An exhilarating concert of fantastical tales and exotic colours. Ravel's Pavane evokes the courtly world of Renaissance Spain with as much perfumed nostalgia as Rodrigo's popular guitar concerto does. Rodrigo described his glorious concerto as capturing "the fragrance of magnolias, the singing of birds, and the gushing of fountains." Rimsky-Korsakov's equally popular tone poem Scheherazade plunges you headfirst into the exotic world of the Tales of the Arabian Nights. Former WASO Assistant Conductor Christopher Dragon is joined by acclaimed Australian guitarist Karin Schaupp in this enchanting concert. ". a flawless performance from Karin Schaupp, the like of which I have not heard before." - Classical Guitar (UK) |

Tommy Emmanuel CGP* joined by guest Steve Wariner CGP * Certified Guitar Player |
Australia's world acclaimed acoustic guitar icon Tommy Emmanuel CGP returns home this September with the power and dynamism of a full band to his solo acoustic playing. Tom's message is pure love for the guitar and the music and his delight in sharing it with the world, one audience at a time. Tommy's greatest honour was being named by his childhood idol Chet Atkins as a 'Certified Guitar Player' (CGP). The legendary US guitarist and producer Atkins gave this designation to only five players in history. For the first time ever in Australia, two CGPs will perform on the same bill, as Tommy is joined by special guest Steve Wariner CGP, direct from Nashville. An acclaimed hit songwriter and world-renowned finger style guitarist, Steve will open all shows - and he and Tommy may even team up for some very special surprises. |
