Sean Shibe

Sean Shibe was the first guitarist to be selected as a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist, and his breathtaking rise to acclaim has been acknowledged with major awards from the Royal Philharmonic Society and Gramophone magazine. His recent disc of Bach has been described as the finest ever recorded on guitar, and his performance of Steve Reich's classic work, Electric Counterpoint, astonished the composer. Incomparably gifted and blessed with a spirit of adventure, Sean Shibe is a guitarist like no other.

Shibe was one of the first artists to return to the Wigmore Hall following the Covid-19 lockdown, receiving a five-star review from The Guardian for his "irresistible style and authority… a nonchalant virtuoso and boundary breaker". 

In this hugely original programme, Sean shows his mastery of the ancient and modern, with compositions separated by centuries but brilliantly chosen to complement one another.

He will be performing in Dorchester on Sunday, May 22. Find more information and tickets here.
