Guitar Recital featuring one of the pre-eminent guitarists of today Fabio Zanon
The Gibraltar Philharmonic Society is glad to announce that it will continue its 2008-09 season with a recital by Brazilian guitarist Fabio Zanon on 22 April 2009 at The Convent Ballroom commencing at 8:30pm.
The recital in association with Gaggero Foundation will feature works by Scarlatti, Torroba, Mignone, Albeniz and Ruiz-Pipo.
The Society’s Artistic Director commented “Fabio Zanon is not only a guitar virtuoso but also an author, teacher, conductor and broadcaster. His artistry has expanded the scope of the guitar beyond the boundaries of tradition, nationality and genre. In 1998 he played his debut with a major orchestra, stepping in at short notice for a performance of Piazzolla’s Concerto for Guitar and Bandoneon with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Since then he has been invited to play at venues such as Royal Festival Hall in London, Carnegie Recital Hall in New York, Sala Verdi in Milan, KKR in Lucerne, Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, Philharmonie in St Petersburg and the São Paulo Hall and Rio Opera House in Brazil. Mr. Zanon is already hugely acclaimed in his native Brazil and I believe that his debut in Gibraltar is one of the “must see” events of the spring cultural calendar.”
Tickets priced at 20 pounds each are now available from The House of Sacarello in Irish Town and The Silver Shop at 275 Main Street. Credit/debit card purchase is also available by phoning the Society on 20072134.
