Damian Wright (flamenco guitar) & Gary Daley (accordion)
Join us for an intimate and spellbinding performance from two of Australia's most accomplished musicians – Gary Daley on piano accordion and Damian Wright on flamenco guitar. This acclaimed duo offers a fresh, enchanting take on arrangements from flamenco, jazz, and classical music. Their interplay is rich with emotion, virtuosity, and a unique musical chemistry that captivates audiences.
The accordion’s lush harmonic textures paired with the fire and finesse of flamenco guitar create a sound that is both timeless and unexpected. It's a collaboration that highlights the artistry and individuality of both performers while weaving a seamless musical narrative.
Damian Wright is an ARIA-nominated flamenco guitarist whose debut album Shifting Sands was named “Pick of the Week” by The Sydney Morning Herald and described as “glorious guitar playing.” He’s performed as a soloist at prestigious festivals including the Rajasthan International Folk Festival (India), the Shanghai Fringe Festival (China), the Adelaide International Guitar Festival, and the Sydney International Guitar Festival.
Gary Daley is a masterful accordionist and pianist known for his work with jazz greats and ensembles like James Greening’s Greening from Ear to Ear and the world-music fusion band The Catholics. As leader of the quartet Bungarribee, Daley brings his own compositions and classical interpretations to life with remarkable nuance. His playing has been called “exquisite” by The Sydney Morning Herald and his compositional voice, “breathtaking” by Australianjazz.net.
Together, they deliver a performance that is at once refined, heartfelt, and deeply memorable.
