Our next concert is on April 19th 2010 when we have the distinguished Mexican guitarist Morgan Szymanski (LEFT) playing Barrios, Lauro, Giuliani, Piazzolla, and others. 'One to watch’ [Gramophone Magazine and the BBC Music Magazine], Morgan won all the guitar prizes from the RCM as well as scholarships from the Tillett Trust, Countess of Munster Musical Trust, Leverhulme Trust, Wall Trust, FONCA and a scholarship to study at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. A top prize-winner at international competitions, in 2002 Morgan won first prize at the prestigious National Guitar Competition in Mexico. Morgan has toured Holland, Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Zimbabwe, Britain, Ireland, Mexico, Guatemala and the USA. In May 2007 he made his debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performing Joaquin Rodrigo’s ‘Concierto de Aranjuez’.

The Society meets on the Third Mondays of the month from September to July, 7.30-10pm at the Friends’ Meeting House, 6, The Friars, Canterbury, Kent, CT1 2AS, just across the river (East) from the Marlowe Theatre. Visitors welcome. Mostly we perform to ourselves (all standards) but we have two public professional concerts of the highest standard each year. Of June’s recital by the young Argentinian guitarist Daniela Rossi, Tony Hickson said: “prodigious…should become famous world-wide” and our recent concert from Dmitris Dekavallas was equally successful.
For future concerts, see the EVENTS section on this website, or send an email or a SAE to the Secretary. For advance tickets, send a cheque (£10, concs. £7).
