Jon Pickard 26th April
Some may remember a concert in 2012 by American Harp-Guitarist John Doan. This time, local musician / composer / performer / instrument designer and teacher, Jon Pickard offers a rare glimpse into the wonderful world of ‘Harp-Guitars’. Like guitars but with added banks of strings to extend the range and textures, HarpGuitars represent the pinnacle of plucked strings evolution. Jon will be playing music by Bach, Debussy, Dire Straits, and original music. A feast of great music!
Jon designed his 2 harp guitars right here in Bruton, and has performed in international festivals across the UK, and in France and the USA. He has recorded and released three HarpGuitar albums and has been included on two compilation albums from Europe and the USA. He teaches piano and guitar in local schools and privately.
