Mårten Falk

russian seven string guitar

At the beginning of the 19th century, a very original kind of guitar tradition was born in Russia: the Russian seven string guitar, tuned in thirds.

Swedish guitarist Mårten Falk is one of the foremost experts on this tradition and he will play an exciting program showing the breadth of this repertoire

from the earliest pieces dating from the late 18th century classical style, through the highly romantic music of the 19th century and the 20th century gypsy folklore style

to some newly composed music.
