Máximo Diego Pujol visit to Cambridge: Overview


Picture of Pujol

M.D. Pujol will be in Cambridge between October 12th to 16th for a concert, masterclass and workshop. We also hope to welcome him at the CGO rehearsal on Sunday 16th October.

Pujol is one of Argentina's foremost players and composers of music for the classical guitar. Much of his music is based on Argentine folk music; one of his particular interests is an ever-closer fusion of traditional Argentine Tango and formal academic concepts, similar to that found in the works of Heitor Villa-Lobos and Leo Brouwer. As a player, he has given concerts and masterclasses widely across South America, Europe, Australia and the US.

Pujol's visit is an exciting opportunity to listen to, explore, play and discuss his music at first hand, either in a masterclass or in a workshop. Of course, you will get just as much value and enjoyment from playing and discussing other South American or western classical guitar music.
