Cuban Guitars: The Music of Leo Brouwer | 8pm Sunday 18 April
Musicians: Andrey Lebedev, Guitar; Cecilia Bignall, Cello; Alec O’Leary, Guitar, Santiago Gomez Kodela, Guitar; Pavla Lušin, Guitar; Colm Connolly, Guitar.

He studied the works of Luigi Nono and Iannis Xenakis; he also met Hans Werner Henze, when the latter visited Cuba in 1969. Soon, though, the double call of his instrument – the guitar – and of his native culture drew him in other directions. Read more.
