French musician to surprise Baku audience

- By Laman Ismayilova

FDiscovere­d by Marcel DADI and Jean Félix LALANNE at the age of 14, FILIGAN shows a real talent for the guitar instrument and an ability to adapt that will lead him very early on to play alongside the greatest musicians.

Directly inspired by his generous nature, he offers with disconcert­ing ease, a spontaneou­s music, full of life, while keeping a melodic verve that draws on all styles.

The French musician knows how to remain unpredicta­ble, and surprises are not lacking during his concerts which are a mixture of virtuosity, pedagogy and humor with a backdrop of boundless energy.

Alternatel­y guitar, banjo, double bass or percussion, he gathers the instrument in a polyphonic universe. It is with passion that he reveals the guitar from every angle in " A Solo Orchestra".

The concert starts at 19:00. Entrance is free.

Address: Landmark Nizami str., 90A hotel,

It was Gutiérrez's most successful play, one which Verdi scholar Julian Budden describes as "a high flown, sprawling melodrama flamboyant­ly defiant of the Aristoteli­an unities, packed with all manner of fantastic and bizarre incident."
