James O'Neil - An evening of Classical Guitar

Event information

Last year Southampton Classical Guitar Society kicked off its new "Young Artists Concert Series", aimed at giving support to some of the excellent guitarists who have recently graduated from the UK's top music colleges.
The next features James O'Neil, who was himself a member of Southampton Classical Guitar Society from the age of 12 while studying locally with Michael Hulmes. At eighteen James won a place at the Royal College of Music, studying with Gary Ryan and Chris Stell.
Having graduated this summer we are delighted to see this excellent young man back performing for the society where he has frequently entertained us over the past decade with the occasional piece or two at our meetings.
Stop press: James O'Neil has been announced as the winner of the 2011 Royal College of Music Guitar Prize.
This is also our first concert at this wonderful new venue in Totton, the Hanger Farm Arts Centre, a beautifully restored barn with excellent acoustics and facilities.
Please come along and enjoy the concert. Tickets will be on sale in the summer priced just £8. Usual concessions and members £6.
