As the seasons turn, banish all memories of cold and darkness and join us for a feast of music from, and inspired by, Spain and South America. We will embark on a musical journey through Cuba, Mexico, Argentina and finish in Spain with the much loved Concierto da Aranjuez by Rodrigo featuring exciting young guitarist Chris Roberts. It will be an afternoon of exciting rhythms, great tunes and wonderful harmony.

Our guitar soloist is Chris Roberts who graduated from Cardiff University in 2017 with first-class honours and the Neville John String Prize. Chris is an innovative and exciting young guitarist whose performances have been praised for their ‘beautifully varied timbres, real virtuosity,’ and for being ‘simply mesmerising’. Chris has a passion for education and improving access to music. He is Chair of the Cardiff Guitar Festival.
