IGF’s Young Artist Platform (YAP) aims to help young musicians in the critical phase between the final stages of music education and the concert platform. The programme provides much needed performance opportunities and mentoring for young guitarists and ensembles starting out in their careers, as well as the opportunity to work with a composer and premiere a new work.
About Luke Tyrrell
Luke Tyrrell is a multi-award-winning classical guitarist from Reading, England. Combining knowledge from all genres and varieties of guitar playing, and a special interest in underappreciated and underperformed works, Luke strives to offer audiences diverse and unique recitals. Whilst still an undergraduate, Luke was honoured to win the Allison Stephens prize for plucked strings.
Luke is currently presenting a recital program exploring the music of early 20th century Spain and sharing the stories of composers who lived through that period.
The programme includes the world premiere of a new IGF commissions by Kristina Arakelyan as well as works by Errollyn Wallen and Regino Sainz de la Maza.
About Wales Guitar Duo
Established in 2020, Wales Guitar Duo is formed of Welsh classical guitarists, Cai Charles and Oliver Manning. They met during their undergraduate studies at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Known for their on-stage charisma and rapport, Wales Guitar Duo break preconceived concert platform expectations with their choice of repertoire and strong off-stage friendship shining through, bridging the gap between performer and audience.
They have performed both in the UK and abroad, most notably for Budleigh Music Festival and the ‘Maestros de la Guitarra’ concert series in Granada, Spain.
The programme includes a new 2024 commission by Welsh composer David John Roche.
This event will last approximately 50 minutes, without an interval.
