Brussels Guitar Laboratory IV

This year’s Brussels Guitar Laboratory is dedicated to the iconic figure of Agustin Barrios Mangoré. We pay homage to Barrios’ art, in which he suffused his classical compositions and performances with the folk music of his native Paraguay. In Barrios’ honor, this festival is a celebration of stylistic hybridity, both old and new.

Guest artists Badi Assad, Atanas Ourkouxounov, and Mie Ogura will break new ground for hybrid performance in concerts and workshops. Antigoni Goni and her students will perform music by Agustin Barrios, preceded by lectures on Barrios’ life and works by scholars Frederick Sheppard and Jan de Kloe. The Volterra Project Guitar Trio will perform the Belgian premiere of “Medio Siglo,” a tribute to luthier Jose Romanillos. Finally, current and former KCB researchers will delve into the rich South Italian tarantella tradition and reveal the complexities of Manuel de Falla’s relationship with flamenco.

Concerts, masterclasses, lectures & workshops.

This guitarfestival is co-organised by our professor guitar, Antigoni Goni.
