Greetings Guitar Enthusiasts
Thanks to all who came to our concert featuring Leonela Alejandro. It was a wonderful program performed with a beautiful tone and great expression! We turn our attention now to the next artist in our Visiting Artist Concert Series featuring Jack Hancher. Described by Gramophone Magazine as a guitarist with “youthful intensity tempered by sophisticated musical intelligence” and Gendai Guitar Magazine as a “poet and a painter, colouring sounds out of the guitar as if his imagination and the guitar were one”, Jack Hancher is a rising star of the classical guitar. In 2022, he won the prestigious Gold Medal of the Royal Overseas League Competition at London's Wigmore Hall, becoming just the third guitarist to win the award. This was preceded in 2021 by a tour of several European Guitar Festivals as a EuroStrings Artist. In 2024, Jack released his debut album “The Memory Garden” on the Deux-Elles label to critical acclaim. It was described by BBC Record Review as “clean, clear, well focused and compelling playing” and was selected by MusicWeb International amongst their “Best Recordings of 2024”. The album consists of music by English composers and features two new commissions by Dani Howard and Laura Snowden. Tickets available at our online store ISCG OFFICERS:
