CANTERBURY FESTIVAL AQUARELLE GUITAR QUARTET
01/11/2013
The drinks reception was the main focus of the evenings photography, covering a mix of candid photos of the guests mingling and enjoying the hospitality provided by the Christ Church catering staff. I had also been asked to cover the opening of the concert, showing the attendees and musicians as they started to perform music off of their new album. With the 70-200mm lens I was able to get some close up images from the side of the stage without intruding upon the audiences view plus it worked well from the back of the venue for some group photos as the quartet performed.
Described as ‘the next big thing in the classical guitar world’ Michael Baker, James Jervis, Vasilis Bessas and Rory Russell perform music from around the globe, from the renaissance to the present day. Mixing their own arrangements with classic repertoire their live performances are tight, precise and emotionally- charged, even when playing at blistering speeds.
This evening’s concert also includes music from the films Frida, Il Postino and The Motorcycle Diaries in which they show off astonishing percussion effects, perfectly timed claps and ever-varying interplay.
