Family Concert with Craig Ogden<\/a> and the Berkshire Youth Guitar Orchestra<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Sunday 11 May<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Time<\/span><\/td>\n3:00pm\u00a0 – \u00a0 4:30pm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Event<\/span><\/td>\nBYGO at the Newbury Festival with Craig Ogden<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Location<\/span><\/td>\nCorn Exchange, Newbury<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Under the direction of Steve Christmas and Berkshire Maestros BYGO has established a national and indeed international reputation for excellence.
\nThis is their Festival debut with star soloist Craig Ogden, one of the leading classical guitarists of his generation.<\/p>\n

The BYGO will play South American Dances by Ginastera and Rodriguez, Irish Folk Songs and three Gershwin Preludes. Craig\u2019s solo pieces will be by Gary Ryan, Albeniz and Tarrega and Craig and the BYGO will come together in Gerald Garcia\u2019s La Grazie Concerto for guitar and guitar orchestra.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This should be great – I have heard the BYGO under Steve Christmas before, and have known Craig since he was 14 years old when we met in Perth, Australia!
\nHope you enjoy the Concerto folks!<\/p>\n

Le Grazie<\/a> was originally written for string trio (2 violins and Cello) and guitar as a companion to the Vivaldi D major “lute” concerto.
\nIt was originally performed by its dedicatee Alison Bendy with students from Wheatley Park School in 2001 and has since been a favourite at summer schools in an arrangement for solo guitar and guitar orchestra. It has been performed numerous times all over the world and was conducted by the composer in the 2nd Swedish \u201cGuitar instead of Guns\u201d Gala in 2002 with, amongst others Zoran Dukic, Roland Dyens and Wolfgang Lendle in the orchestra!
\nIt is in three movements in the form of an Italian concerto and the movements are :
\nNight Sounds (tempo di boogie woogie \u2013 homage to Fats Waller)<\/em>
\nClear Day (homage to Vivaldi)<\/em>
\nStar Rise (homage to Michael Tippett)<\/p>\n
