Sean Shibe | In Association With Southampton Classical Guitar Society
Saturday 3rd May 2025, 7:30pm
Scottish guitarist Sean Shibe has proven himself a truly original mind at the frontier of classical guitar.
He creates unique textures with classical, contemporary and folk repertoire, earning prestigious accolades worldwide.
As a former BBC New Generation Artist, Shibe has garnered praise for his one-of-a-kind programming, earning him the Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship 2012, Royal Philharmonic Society 2018 Young Artist Award and the 2022 Leonard Bernstein Award. His recordings are also highly acclaimed, winning prestigious prizes including OPUS Klassik (2021 & 2023), the 2019 Gramophone Concept Album of the Year and the 2021 Gramophone Instrumental Award.
This programme includes Frank Martin’s Quatre ‘Pièces Brèves’, written for Andrés Segovia, but unplayed until Julian Bream championed the suite in the 1960s. The first recorded performance of Bach’s Cello Suites took place over 100 years after they were likely written. Thomas Adès’ ‘Forgotten Dances’, which was commissioned for Sean and premiered in 2023, invokes composers and artists of bygone times.
