Pavel Steidl plays Federico Sheppard "Camino" in "Sistine Chapel of Spain"

Our friend – and builder of the “Camino Dos Bocas” guitar – Federico Sheppard has an organization called CaminoArtes with which he promotes all things related to the classical guitar on the Camino de Santiago, near his workshop in Carrion de los Condes, Spain. The organization puts on concerts, guitar-making workshops and many other functions for the community. We even published a video of theirs that details some of this activity, which you can view here.

SO, as part of this initiative, Federico invited Pavel Steidl to perform on the 2015 Federico Sheppard “Camino Dos Bocas” guitar before it was shipped to us. Each performance was beautifully filmed by our friends at Open Strings Berlin in the breathtaking bishop’s chapel in the Museo Diocesano de Arte Palacio Episcopal (known as the “Sistine Chapel of Spain”) in Palencia. With this guitar, Federico Sheppard pays hommage to guitars by the great Francisco Simplicio, and on it, Pavel delivers great music.

Take a listen to the three pieces below: the “Courante” and “Gigue” from ‘Suite in G Major’ by Losy and the beautiful ‘Sarabande’ by Červenka.
