On Thursday 2 February, Ballymoney Borough Arts Committee look forward to welcoming Irish flautist Aisling Agnew and Scottish guitarist Matthew McAllister to Ballymoney Town Hall. Internationally recognised as one of the leading flute & guitar duos, they will be making their Ballymoney debut as part of a Moving on Music tour and their programme promises to be a real treat for music lovers as it includes Bizet’s Carmen Fantasie, Astor Piazzolla’s Histoire du Tango and additional Classical, South American and Celtic repertoire.
The Duo are renowned for deeply engaging performances, imaginative programming and consummate artistry and since giving their first concert together in Belfast in 2001, they have performed extensively around the world earning the highest admiration from audiences.
Recent performances include two US tours as well as concerts in Italy, Austria, Holland, Peru, Costa Rica, Malaysia, UK and Ireland. The Duo recorded their critically acclaimed début CD Recital in 2006 with Natural Studio Records and they have also recorded for RTE Lyric FM, as featured on the CD release Hiccup.
As this highly expressive form of chamber music continues to grow in popularity, Aisling & Matthew are at the forefront of its evolution through their insightful transcriptions, inspiring arrangements and innovative new works they commission.
The performance begins at 8pm and tickets £9, concessions £7 are available from Ballymoney Town Hall 028 2766 0230.
