Redmond O’Toole & Ian Wilson
A Snapshot of the classical guitar in Ireland over the past 15 years, Redmond O’Toole performs a program of 21st century music by Irish composers including the world premiere of Cortège by Ian Wilson funded by the Arts Council of Ireland. The programme also includes music by Daragh O’Neill, Alan Grundy and Brian Bolger.
Redmond O’Toole is recognised as one of the most distinctive and original guitarists of his generation. He was the first to adopt Paul Galbraith’s ‘Brahms guitar’. This groundbreaking instrument and technique uses an 8-string guitar in the position of a cello.
Hailing from Bray, O’Toole is an important ambassador for the classical guitar in Ireland and has given concerts the length and breadth of the country and throughout Europe. He has performed for two Irish Presidents and was part of the televised concert for Queen Elizabeth’s historic visit to Ireland in 2011.
