Another wonderfully varied evening at the Lauderdale Guitar Society, with music ranging from Bach and Tárrega to Brouwer and Villa-Lobos, alongside Brazilian rhythms, flute and guitar, and even the sound of the Greek bouzouki. Read about September’s performances, the stories behind the music, and another memorable evening at Lauderdale House.

An evening of classical guitar, mandolin and shared music-making at Lauderdale House in North London, celebrating a plucked-string tradition stretching back more than a century.

The Lauderdale Guitar society July meeting had an exciting programme of guitar, banjo and mandolin pieces. Fahran Washington gave a particularly polished performance.

The June meeting of the Lauderdale Guitar Society offered a fascinating musical journey across more than four centuries of music. From Renaissance Spain and Elizabethan England to twentieth-century Mexico and Argentina, the evening demonstrated not only the versatility of the guitar but also the remarkable breadth of musical interests represented within the Society.

It was another wonderfully varied and enjoyable evening at the Lauderdale Guitar Society on Wednesday 13th May, with members treating us to music spanning centuries, styles and continents;  from Renaissance lute music and Baroque masterworks to jazz, folk, film-inspired compositions and Parisian musette.

We enjoyed a wonderful evening of music, with members sharing a rich mix of styles and repertoire. It was a quieter and more intimate evening as many people were away, however it was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
