Quatuor van Kuijk and Sean Shibe

String Quartet & Guitar

This event has passed.

One of the best young string quartets in the world collaborate with one of the best young guitar virtuosos in the world in a stunning artistic collaboration.

Vierne String Quartet in D minor, Op 12

Boccherini Guitar Quintet in D  “Fandango” G.448

Interval

Ades Habanera (Solo Guitar)

De Falla Homenaje – Le Tombeau de Claude Debussy for Guitar (Solo Guitar)

Poulenc Sarabande (1960) for solo guitar

Castelnuovo-Tedesco Guitar Quintet Op 143

Following their scintillating lunchtime performance in spring 2021 (which almost filled the house), Quatuor van Kuijk join forces with Scottish guitar virtuoso Sean Shibe, fresh from his exhilarating collaboration with Manchester Collective. They play a mixed programme, some solo, some ensemble, spanning the centuries from Bocherini to the more contemporary, and encompassing some of the most evocative soundworlds for guitar and strings.

“Style, energy and a sense of risk. These four young Frenchmen made the music smile.” (Guardian)
