Renowned as one of the foremost guitarists of our time, Paul Galbraith has a revolutionary approach to guitar playing that has made him an instantly recognizable figure in classical music, but it is ultimately his interpretative breadth that has captivated audiences around the world.
Paul plays a unique 8-string guitar, which he developed in 1993 with luthier David Rubio. On this instrument he has made a series of highly acclaimed albums, most famously a recording of J.S. Bach's complete Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin, which was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1998.
Paul developed an individual approach to guitar posture at age 20 following a period of intense investigation into technique. This position developed into the cellist's posture associated with him today.
Paul began concertizing in his late teens after attracting public attention in Britain through a series of televised competition successes. Since then, Paul has performed throughout the world, both as a solo act and accompanied by some of the most prestigious symphony orchestras around.
This is sure to be a magnificent powerhouse of a performance, and we are beyond thrilled to offer this concert as part of our 2023-24 Series!
The concert will also include a PRELUDE PERFORMANCE by Kenneth Chen!
Kenneth began learning the guitar at age 8 and has become increasingly passionate about the instrument over the years. Now 16, Kenneth performs a range of genres including classical, jazz, rhythm & blues, and pop. He is a student of Scott Cmiel in the Pre-College Division of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where he also performs in a guitar trio and guitar orchestra. We are happy to invite this strong young performer to the stage!
