Uganda: Luggya's First Solo Piano Recital

Uganda: Luggya's First Solo Piano Recital


Kampala

PAUL Luggya, a classical concert-artiste based at the Kampala Music School, last week gave his first solo piano recital at the residence of the Ambassador of the Netherlands in Kololo.

The evening concert, which was well-attended, surprised many of his fans, who only knew him as an organist. But the confident Luggya never wasted any time before proving to his admirers that he was not only the king of the organ, but also a master of the piano.

He played big works like Bach's English Suite No. 3, G minor, BVW 80 and F.B Mendelssohn's Fantasia in F Sharp.

The concert was also spiced by Barber Shop group comprising Baritone singers Francis Muteesaasira, Banjamin Katumba, John Mary Mukiza, Fred Kasujja and Tenor Charles Dickens.
