The Alhambra Palace, with its impressive mosaics and sun-drenched gardens, has inspired the creation of many wonderful compositions throughout the centuries. While several works of Francisco Tárrega, Isaac Albéniz and Joaquín Turina have a direct connection to the Alhambra Palace, the Arabian influence is evident in most pieces in this programme.
‘Tarrega for Two’, ‘’Peter takes three of Spanish composer Tarrega’s pieces for classical guitar and gives them a modern twist.’’ Kate Calder, Edinburgh Music Review.
Hungarian born guitarists, Peter and Zoltán Katona, have given recitals in major concert venues throughout the world including performances at Carnegie Hall in New York and Wigmore Hall in London. They have played together with renowned musicians such as Yo-Yo Ma and world class ensembles such as the BBC Concert Orchestra.
Peter teaches at the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin.
