Concerts

'One of our greatest living guitar composers.' Classical Guitar Magazine

Join us for a truly exceptional evening featuring the London debut performance of world-renowned Argentine guitarist and composer Máximo Diego Pujol. A leading figure in contemporary guitar music, Pujol is celebrated for his fusion of classical technique and the soul of Argentine tango. Deeply inspired by the legendary Astor Piazzolla, his work embodies the rhythmic passion and lyrical richness of Argentina’s musical heritage. This is a rare and unmissable opportunity to see Máximo Diego Pujol perform live in London—an intimate concert showcasing his own compositions alongside works by fellow Argentine masters.

The evening will begin a presentation and Q&A moderated by Steve Goss.

Maestro Pujol will also be offering public masterclasses in the morning, starting at 10.30am. See below for booking details.
