Following last year's sell out concert, we are pleased to announce the return of Richard Durrant, for another evening of amazing musicianship. It will be held on Friday, March 26th  in the Pickering Memorial Hall, at 7.30pm.

            “The Guitar Whisperer” is an innovative show of impeccable musical credentials, performed by one of the foremost guitarists of his generation. Over the past year Richard Durrant has appeared in over 60 venues. Richard's latest Album: Recuerdos, Guitar Classics, produced by his old mentor, Charles Ramirez, Guitar Professor at The Royal College of Music received a superb 5 star review in Classic FM magazine.

            The concert begins as a classical guitar recital but quickly moves into its own highly individual territory blending recital music with new technology, improvisation, unexpected instruments, and storytelling. Richard's wide repertoire has created a loyal fan base.

            Shortly after his visit to Pickering, Richard will again be appearing as guest soloist with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, at The Hawth Concert Hall.

            An unmissable opportunity to see musicianship of the highest quality in Pickering.

            Tickets are £10 adults and £8 for those in full time education. Available from  Pickering Tourist Information Centre,   telephone 01751 473791 or by e-mailing: rd.pickering09@hotmail.com 

            After last year's ticket sales and the audience response, we strongly advise you to book early for this event.

            Profits from the concert are in aid of The Friends of St. Joseph's School, Pickering and will be put towards the new extension fund.
