John Williams, Berta Rojas

Virtuoso classical guitarist John Williams returns to the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse this summer for a pair of concerts alongside two world-renowned musicians.

John has delighted audiences with previous performances in the unique acoustic conditions of the candlelit Playhouse, and this summer we invite Berta Rojas and Paco Peña to share the stage with him for an international celebration of the classical guitar.

On Saturday 21 July, John will explore music ranging from Vivaldi to Venezuelan pieces, sharing the stage with Paraguayan guitarist extraordinaire Berta Rojas. Berta’s repertoire will pay homage to her compatriot and classical guitar pioneer, Agustín Barrios Mangoré.
