The Guitar Music of South America and Spain
Spanish and Latin American guitar music have had a close symbiotic relationship ever since the early 16th century. The guitar has an incredibly long, rich and diverse history in both regions. With this show guitarists Lincoln Brady and Aloysius Leeson aim to celebrate some of this diverse music and introduce people to some less well known corners of the repertoire.

Aloysius Leeson has been infatuated with classical and flamenco guitar for most of his life, leading to studies at the Elder Conservatorium and time in Spain following the traditional apprenticeship of accompanying singers and dancers.
Lincoln Brady is a graduate of Trinity College of Music, London and the University of Adelaide in Guitar (Performance). He has premiered several new works for guitar by leading overseas composers and many of his own compositions and arrangements are published in Europe and America.
“The sheer variety of music … and passion for each style, coupled with his finessed yet respectful playing, make for an evening of music that is as educational as it is immensely enjoyable.” – George Inglis, 5AA
