'CONTEMPLATIONS'

Date: 9 June 2026
Venue: 38 St Giles
Ticket Price: £20
TWO PERFORMANCES: 16:30 & 19:00

Winner of the London International Guitar Competition, Emmanuel Sowicz presents ‘Contemplations’ – a poetic journey through Baroque, Romantic, and Latin American treasures, including the world premiere of ‘The Quadrivium Suite’ by Faculty of Music alumnus Alessandro Loro, a new composition inspired by the city of Oxford. The programme also includes Bach’s radiant ‘Prelude, Fugue, and Allegro’ BWV 998, Barrios’ iconic ‘La Catedral’, and Sowicz’s own arrangements of music from Spain and Japan – a rich celebration of the guitar’s intimacy and vitality.
