Classical guitarist

BRAY native Redmond O’Toole will perform at Whale Theatre in Greystones on Sunday, May 6, at the finale of his Irish tour. HIS programme exploits the full range of his unusual 8-string guitar and ‘cello’ style technique. The concert begins with transcriptions of JS Bach and Haydn before visiting Mexico and Spain for the music of Rodrigo and Ponce and ending with Carlo Domeniconi’s masterwork ‘Koyunbaba’. O’Toole has been hailed as one of the most interesting players of his generation, renowned for his atmospheric performances and virtuosity. Redmond has given recitals throughout Europe and the US at prestigious concert halls and festivals as soloist as well as with ‘ The Chieftains’ and ‘Dublin Guitar Quartet’.
