Copped Hall, Epping

COPPED HALL is a fine Georgian mansion that is currently under restoration. It is superbly sited on a ridge overlooking its landscaped parkland.

We are delighted to welcome back this internationally famous guitarist, who at his own request, returns for what will undoubtedly be another popular concert. Craig mixes superlative playing with a wide range of music, from Bach to the Beatles.

Musick for a while
The Path Towards the Goldberg Variations

The word baroque is derived from the Portuguese, baroco, meaning ‘a pearl of irregular or bulbous shape’.  I wanted, in this programme to explore 150 years of music from that era, a period more diverse than any other apart from our own. I’ve ignored towering figures such as Handel, Vivaldi and Telemann and chosen instead to follow an erratic path across Europe and the British Isles towards one of the music’s great masterpiece, Bach’s Goldberg Variations. David Juritz

Northleach, Gloucestershire for Northleach Events

Craig has carved out a career as one of the most versatile guitarists on the planet: playing recitals, concertos, commissioning new works – and he’s the most sought-after guitarist for chamber music in the UK.

Cited by BBC Music Magazine as: “A worthy successor to Julian Bream”, his discography includes an album of 20th-century classics by British composers previously played by Julian Bream that was nominated for a Grammy Award; six albums that have reached number-one on the UK Classical charts, and a recording of Rodrigo’s guitar concertos that received the ultimate accolade from the composer’s daughter: “This recording has confirmed your position among the greatest guitarists.”

Craig will be available after the concert to talk to the audience and sign copies of his CDs.
