Back by popular demand, Classic FM chart-topper Craig Ogden returns to Sheffield.   

One of the greatest classical guitarists of our time, his incredible career over three decades has included a stream of best-selling albums and appearances with the world’s finest orchestras.   

Craig’s previous solo recital in the Playhouse was described as “dazzlingly skilful and approachably genial” (Bachtrack). In an eclectic programme of personal passions, brimming with South American guitar classics and fresh, inventive arrangements of favourites such as the jazz talent of Django Reinhardt and more, this promises to be an intimate and entertaining tour through the guitar repertoire.  

Prepare to be wowed by his brilliance and charmed by his warmth.
