Michael Partington, guitar

The Seattle Classic Guitar Society is proud to present classical guitarist Michael Partington in a live and live stream concert from Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya Hall on Saturday, October 16!

Michael Partington is one of the most engaging of the new generation of concert players. Praised by Classical Guitar Magazine for his “lyricism, intensity and clear technical command,” this award-winning British guitarist has performed internationally as a soloist and with ensemble to unanimous critical praise. Audiences are put at ease by his charming stage manner and captivated by his musical interpretations. His innate rhythmic understanding and sense for tonal color combine to form some of the most memorable phrasing to be heard on the guitar. Mr. Partington has appeared throughout the USA, UK, Canada, Russia, and Scandinavia in solo recital, with orchestra and in chamber ensembles.

Mr. Partington’s program will feature music by Manuel Ponce, Bryan Johanson, Domenico Scarlatti, Johann Kaspar Mertz, and Julián Arcas.

“Partington possesses a most refined manner in everything he does with the guitar: his technique is polished and effortless, his phrasing clear and logical, his tone most appealing, clean and powerful.” – West Sussex Guitar Club

The concert will take place at 7:30pm Pacific.

This concert will be presented live and in person as well as live streamed in high definition video and high fidelity audio at the time of the concert. Stream available to view live and on demand October 18-25.
