Dedrick @ The Durian: A Classical Guitar Recital

On the 3 September 5.30pm, I will be returning to the stage, 6 years after my last public performance.

I will be playing a variety of works from the Romantic and Modern era in this 40-minute recital. I will also be joined by my good friend, and an excellent guitarist, James Heng for 3 duet pieces.

This performance is special because in addition to being my ‘come-back’ recital, I will also be playing unamplified. I want the audience to experience the classical guitar in a natural and intimate manner.

This will also be the first performance test for my Wataru Tsuji Grand Suprema guitar. I’m keen to see how it performs in a performance environment!

I hope to see you there!
