Ruins of St. Paul's
Free Admission
An opportunity to experience Pedro Jóia’s very personal approach to Carlos Paredes’ classic interpretations of traditional Portuguese fados. Accompanying Jóia in the performance is a string trio which forms the basis for a concert that shifts between flamenco guitar and the classical genre.
Above all, "Variations on Carlos Paredes" pays homage to the greatest ever interpreter of the Portuguese guitar, bringing the intricate delicacy of the instrument to the imposing façade of the Ruins of St. Paul’s.

He has recorded “Variations on Carlos Paredes”, and other CD’s such as “Guadiano” (1996) and “Sueste” (1999), the result of experimenting with the wealth of material available for flamenco guitar.
