Six Strings at Six

"Dunedin musician Braden Southee’s exploration of the classical guitar took the form of a Spanish-themed evening of gentle music performed with simplicity and virtuosity.

Southee's impressive command of the classical guitar and passionate love for his craft were evident in every note he played, enhanced by his conversations between compositions that provided illuminating context for each work. The evening was a magical moment of music and imagination."

Sam Henderson - Otago Daily Times (April 2025)

With an insatiable devotion to his instrument, Braden Southee has delivered concerts across New Zealand, leaving a lasting impression with his profound musical interpretations and technical finesse.

Drawing from a vast and nurturing education, Braden presents a rich and explorative repertoire that takes listeners on a journey from the grandeur of the first golden age of the guitar in the classical era, to the lush and emotive works from post-Romantic composers.

Whether you are a long-time admirer of the classical guitar or a new listener, this concert offers an unmissable experience that showcases the depth and beauty of the guitar

2025 sees Braden sharing his art once more, coming to you directly after being a featured soloist at the Dunedin Arts Festival.

“…over a long programme presented without an interval, Southee’s excellent technique and stamina were testament to his dedication.

His complete absorption in his craft produced an excellent performance, allowing the audience to become steeped in the genre.”
