Viljandi Kitarrifestival astub esmakordselt oma tavapärasest raamistikust välja ning toob publiku ette eraldiseisva kevadise erikontserdi!

Stuart Ironside on Briti kitarrist, kes ühendab klassikalise mängutehnika, erinevate kultuuride muusikalised mõjutused ning looduse helid, et luua omanäoline muusikaline keel.
Stuarti teine album „Music from Somewhere Else“ on salvestatud Põhja-Eesti metsades. Kaheosaline teos, mis ühendab seadeid, originaalloomingut ja improvisatsiooni, kujutab endast duetti 

Stuarti ja looduse vahel. Esimene osa „The Enclosure“ ilmus 2025. aasta detsembris ning teine osa „The Wildlands“ tuleb esitusele Viljandi Kitarrifestivali Kevadkontserdil MYRAS.

Praegu Eestis tegutsev Stuart on lõpetanud Cardiffi Ülikooli ning Londoni SOASi Ülikooli. Oma õpingute käigus on ta süvenenud klassikalisse muusikasse, Briti rahvalauludesse, Lääne-Aafrika mande-muusikasse ja Jaava gamelani traditsiooni. Nende erinevate muusikastiilide kaudu on ta kujundanud oma isikupärase mängulaadi, uurides oma seost igaühega neist ja leides omaenda hääle.

Stuart andis 2022. aastal välja oma debüütalbumi „The Wallace Line“, millele järgnes 2024. aastal EP lühifilmi „Voces Humanas“ heliribaga (stsenarist ja režissöör Florencia Cáceres). Tema hiljutised projektid, inspireeritud elust Eestis, on keskendunud tantsule ja liikumisele, loodusega suhestumisele ning pikematele improvisatsioonidele. Stuart rõhutab sidet loodusega, vabadust esitusviisis ning meditatiivsete seisundite omaksvõttu oma voolava ja tundeküllase helikeele kaudu.

Pärast kontserti on võimalus osa saada MYRA "Kuulamisklubist" kus paneme mängima maja imelise akustika ja helisüsteemiga Stuarti albumi  „The Wildlands“.

Korraldaja jätab endale õiguse teha programmis muudatusi.

Sündmust toetab Kultuuriministeerium.

Viljandi Guitar Festival is stepping beyond its usual format for the first time, bringing audiences a special standalone spring concert!

Stuart Ironside (he/they) is a British guitarist combining classical technique with global influences and the sounds of nature to create a unique musical language.

Currently based in Estonia, Stuart is a graduate of Cardiff University and SOAS University of London. Through his studies of classical music, British folk song, West African Mande music and Javanese gamelan, Stuart has been developing his style of playing through exploring his connection to each of these musics and finding his own voice.

Stuart released his debut album ‘The Wallace Line’ in 2022, followed by an EP of the soundtrack from the short film ‘Voces Humanas’, written and directed by Florencia Cáceres, in 2024. Stuart’s recent musical projects, inspired by life in Estonia, have explored dance and movement, interactions with nature and extended improvisations. Stuart emphasises connection to the natural world, freedom in performance and embracing meditative states through his free-flowing mind playing and evocative sound.

Stuart’s second album, 'Music from Somewhere Else', was recorded live in the forests of Northern Estonia. A two part album of arrangements, compositions and improvisations, it is a duet between Stuart and the natural world; Part 1, 'The Enclosure', was released in December 2025 and Part 2, 'The Wildlands', will be released in April 2026.

The organizer reserves the right to make changes to the event program.
