Description
Alhambra!
Don't miss this very special Wirral collaboration, bursting with Mediterranean flair and flavour!
We are delighted to welcome back virtuoso 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 critically acclaimed duo's latest album Alhambra Inspirations.
With its impressive mosaics and sun-drenched gardens, the Alhambra Palace in the Spanish city of Granada inspired the creation of many wonderful compositions throughout the centuries. In an exotic and transporting programme that features many such pieces by Tárrega, Albéniz and de Falla, the Arabian influence is evident throughout. Book now for what is sure to be a very special night of live music-making, right in the heart of Heswall.
Also featuring music by Boccherini, Scarlatti and more.
Peter Katona, Zoltán Katona - guitars
Thelma Handy, Celia Goodwin - violins
Nadia Debono - viola
Alex Holladay - cello
