The unique sound of classical guitars, lute and voice – Spring Guitar Concerts, which traditionally take place in the Pomeranian Dukes' Castle in Szczecin, will be available online for free on every Friday in March 2021.
This year's guitar concerts have been recorded in the Castle's Ghotic Gallery and will be broadcast online every Friday in March from 8.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. on Sunday.
Spring Guitar Concerts is a regular cycle, promoting guitar music, which has been organised by the Pomeranian Dukes’ Castle since 1998. Every year in the springtime the Castle offers several concerts to music lovers, which gives an opportunity to listen to a wide range of guitar styles, including classical, jazz and acoustic. Apart from solo recitals, you can listen to guitar bands or concerts of guitarists with other instrumentalists. At the organizers’ invitation the world class artists arrive in Szczecin. The artistic director of Spring Guitar Concerts is Piotr Pałac – guitarist and pedagogue from Szczecin.
During this year's 23rd edition, Andrzej Grygier – winner of 25 first prizes (including the Grand Prix) at national and international guitar competitions – will perform compositions by Antonio Jose, Robert Sierra and Alekxandre Tansman. Mateusz Ławniczak (lute, voice) will present songs of the Renaissance period: the programme "Shakespearean Songs" consists entirely of works that were an integral part of Shakespeare's plays or could very likely fill the gaps between the acts. The excellent Woch & Guzik Duo will present Italian, Brazilian and Venezuelan music, including the One Week in Rio suite dedicated to the duo by Sergio Assad.
