At the conclusion of the concert, everyone is invited to join Derek
for a special meet-and-greet.
Derek Gripper is a classical guitarist who has taken a unique path. As
a South African classical musician he felt limited by the music of the
traditional classical guitar and so went on a journey through
different musical styles, returning always to the guitar to find ways
of bringing what he learned onto the instrument.
This concert will explore the dialogue between the disparate styles
that have informed his work to date: Kora, Bach, South African jazz,
Contemporary Classical and large scale improvisations.
Quotations of Bach, Malian songs, virtuosic kora compositions,
Southern African bow music, and avant-garde Brazilian guitar music
combine to create a new solo guitar which is at once intimate and
explosive, improvised and composed, traditional and new.
Please note, ONLINE BOOKINGS ONLY. There will be no tickets available
at the door.
