Internationally acclaimed guitarists Laura Young (Canada) and Mark Ashford (UK) will be this year’s very special guest artists at WGF. You can catch them in concert at Milner Hall on Friday and 23 and Saturday 24 July as part of the WGF recital series, and they will also be giving masterclasses for the WGF students during the festival weekend.
Laura is a well known performer, internationally recognised for her powerfully vivid and charismatic performances. Born in Canada, she has made her home in Barcelona and currently teaches at the Escuela Superior de Musica en Catalunya.
Acclaimed for his ‘inspirational interpretations’ Mark is an international prize-winning guitarist and a former BBC Radio 2 Young Musician of the Year. In addition to his solo and concerto performances, Mark is also a member of the VIDA Guitar Quartet and Head of Guitar at the Birmingham Conservatoire.
The intimate setting of Milner Hall provides some of the finest acoustics for the classical guitar, but it does have limited seating and most concerts are a sell-out so please book early to avoid disapointment.
Friday 23 July 8pm – Mark Ashford
Saturday 24 July 8pm – Laura Young
