ARIA-nominated guitarist DAMIAN WRIGHT presents a very special solo & intimate flamenco concert in Sydney on SUNDAY FEBRUARY 22 at CHURCH STREET STUDIOS, CAMPERDOWN. Known for his passionate performances and innovative approach, Wright will explore not only the depth and tradition of flamenco music but also the evocative world of French impressionist composers Debussy, Ravel & Satie.
“When I was a teenager a close friend introduced me to the music of Erik Satie. The atmosphere, depth, colour and feeling of his music immediately affected me, and I have since found that era of Impressionist music as an endless source of inspiration,”
DAMIAN WRIGHT is an ARIA nominated Flamenco guitarist. Damian recently released his debut album “Shifting Sands” (ABC Music) which was The Sydney Morning Heralds ‘Pick of the week’ where it was described as “Glorious guitar playing”. Damian was invited to perform as a solo artist at The Rajasthan International Folk Festival, INDIA and in 2016 performed at The Shanghai Fringe Festival, CHINA. Damian’s ensemble BANDALUZIA was invited to perform at the biannual Adelaide International Guitar Festival curated by Slava Grigoryan & was a soloist at The Sydney International Guitar festival in 2017 & 2018. BANDALUZIA was awarded "The Pick Of the Sydney Fringe" at The Sydney Fringe Festival and performed to a sold out Sydney Opera House Concert Hall as an invited artist to TEDX Sydney 2014. BANDALUZIA has headlined The International Gypsy Music Festival, Sydney, The Global Carnival and is on Musica Viva's national touring program. In 2010 Damian received a development grant from the Australian arts council to study flamenco guitar in Spain with Pepe Justicia, where he spent five years. Damian has recorded with ensembles RASA DUENDE & THE TRANSLATORS on ABC/Universal and Jazzgroove Records and his compositions have been played on ABC radio national and ABC Classic FM.
This performance offers audiences the chance to hear one of Australia’s most acclaimed guitarists in an intimate solo setting where the flamenco guitar is expressed in colours of impressionism
