guitarrísimo: Leo Brouwer, Guitar for All

Leo Brouwer is one of contemporary music’s living legends. Acclaimed in his youth as one of the all-time great performers of the classical guitar, the Cuban composer is an Honorary Member of UNESCO and is recognised worldwide as the guitar’s most outstanding living composer for the instrument, and as a pioneer in the fusion of musical styles and genres.

All levels are welcome to participate and/or spectate, from enthusiast through to professional. Places are limited to a maximum of x16 and active participation is by prior application only.
