One of the truly exciting things about following Sean Shibe’s career over the past decade has been to join him as he delves right back into the past to explore pre-guitar music with lute and also bring thing bang up to date with electric guitar. So, over the course of today, he plays music of 5 centuries on lute, guitar and electric guitar in 3 intimate Anstruther venues; close up music. To close the day we’ve invited Nizar Rohana, a master of an instrument that predates them all – the Oud – to end this journey with music that is both contemporary and ancient. Each concert lasts around 40 minutes, allowing time between them to enjoy Anstruther, grab a bag of chips…
For this second concert, Shibe turns to guitar and plays Bach alongside music written especially for him by Thomas Adès – the first time the ‘Forgotten Dances’ will be heard in Scotland.
