Katona Twins with the Festival String Quartet
Sat 8 Mar 2025 19:30 - 21:30 GMT
The Lighthouse Church, Heswall, CH60 0AJ
Description
Don't miss this very special Wirral collaboration, bursting with Mediterranean flair and flavour!
We are delighted to welcome back world-famous guitar duo The Katona Twins after their sellout show in 2023. This time they join forces with the festival's very own string quartet, led by Thelma Handy, for a programme based on the duo's latest album Alhambra Inspirations.
With its impressive mosaics and sun-drenched gardens, the Alhambra Palace in the Spanish city Granada inspired the creation of many wonderful compositions throughout the centuries. While several works of Tárrega, Albéniz and de Falla have a direct connection to the Alhambra Palace, the Arabian influence is evident in most pieces in this programme.
Also featuring music by Boccherini, Scarlatti and more.
Peter Katona, Zoltán Katona - guitars
Thelma Handy, Celia Goodwin - violins
Nadia Debono - viola
Alex Holladay - cello
