Classical Guitar Concert - Starlight and Memories
Thursday, 2nd November 2017, 7:30pm
Plant and Food Research, Ruakura Campus, Bisley Ave, Hamilton, Waikato
This was a solo recital hosted by the good people of the Hamilton guitar society and at a location tried for the very first time as a classical guitar performance venue. Although spartan and utilitarian, the meeting room/theatre for business presentations proved to be more than adequate, with surprisingly good acoustics and spaciousness. There was an excited buzz at the interval and after the concert. The word was that the playing and chosen pieces were loved by all those who attended the performance.
