Sasha's Guitar Legacy
The West Sussex Guitar Orchestra, directed by Linda Kelsall-Barnett, is joined by special guest soloists including Amanda Cook and Sam Brown to dedicate an evening of classical guitar to Sasha Levtov, founder of the West Sussex Guitar Club, in the wonderful acoustic of St John’s Chapel.
Renowned classical guitarists Amanda Cook and Sam Brown are both former students of Sasha Levtov and each began their career with the West Sussex Guitar Club, which he founded in 1993. Sasha sadly passed away in 2025 but he has left a wonderful legacy for the guitar.
Guitar Harmony, New Gala Quartet, past students and club members Paul Thomas, Chris Sweatman and Lydia Hepworth and Jacob Wells-Luttrell will also be performing.
Come and listen to the guitar in ensemble, duo and solo in an eclectic mix of atmospheric, well-loved repertoire. Programme to include Pachelbel Canon in D, Sailing, The Barber of Seville Overture and Adelita, to name but a few.
Please note that this event is part of the Festival of Chichester (event M15) and is NOT held at the Regis School of Music.
Proceeds to go towards the West Sussex Guitar Club so that we can continue Sasha’s work in promoting the guitar and its music to a new audience and to also encourage people of all ages to learn to play and to perform.
