As one of her final performances as Bermuda's first Musician in Residence, Leslie Halpert will be performing on Sunday at the 5th Annual Guitar Festival.

Ms Helpert has been on-Island since March as a result of the programme founded by Lyndsay Ternent of FreeUp Productions.

She will be performing at the Students Gala Concert at St. Andrew's Church at 6 p.m. on Sunday. She has an original piece prepared for the audience.

"I'll be performing a piece with Taylor Rankin at The Guitar Festival, which I've titled 'A Study on Simplicity.' It's a song that sort of goes back into the classical simple realms of a Suzuki-style music lesson sort of song," she said.

"It is a study on playing very simply. I liked that idea. Somehow, too, it ended up being an homage to my passed grandfather, who was a classical guitarist and recorded a record in Brazil of Portuguese folk songs."

Admission to the Students Gala is free however tickets can be purchased for other Guitar Festival events at www.boxoffice.bm
