Event Details
Karin Schaupp is one of the most outstanding guitarists on the international scene. She performs widely on the international stage as a recitalist, concerto soloist and has given countless recitals in Australia, Europe, Asia, the US, Mexico and Canada. Karin’s playing receives the highest acclaim from critics and audiences alike and she is held in great esteem by her peers worldwide.
While still in her teens she won prizes at international competitions in Lagonegro, Italy and Madrid, Spain, where she was also awarded the special competition prize for the Best Interpretation of Spanish Music.
Other performance highlights include concertos with the London Philharmonic Orchestra (UK) in London’s Royal Festival Hall, the Springfield Symphony Orchestra (USA), the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
After well over a decade of focussing on collaborative projects, Karin Schaupp will be giving a handful of rare solo concerts in 2019.
The first half of her programme will feature a Guadagnini replica guitar built by Simon Roves-Herman, allowing audiences to hear repertoire by Mertz, Giuliani and Regondi on romantic guitar.
In the second half, Schaupp will perform more recent repertoire on her modern Jim Redgate guitar, including an evocative work written for her by Mary Doumany “Portraits of Four Australian Women”, in which Schaupp speaks and plays simultaneously. Schaupp will also perform works by Paul Stanhope, Phil Houghton and Nikita Koshkin, all of which are based on strong narratives.
