International Guitar Night featuring Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Andrew York, Alpha Yaya Diallo, and Brian Gore
What do you get when you take a Grammy-award winning instrument-innovating Indian master slide guitarist, a highly rhythmic, hypnotic West African guitarist, a classical guitarist and former member of the renowned Los Angeles Guitar Quartet (who incidentally also earned a Grammy), and a globally-minded American fingerstyle guitarist, and bring them together for a night of musical magic? Why, it must be International Guitar Night, of course!The International Guitar Night (IGN) is a forum for presenting the
world's most original guitar players/composers together in concert.
Featuring solo performances and collaborations, every show highlights a
diversity of cultural styles and techniques. The ultimate goal of the IGN is to awaken new audiences to the many possibilities of the guitar, as well as to foster a sustainable culture for original acoustic guitar music of all types.
NOTE: Sylvain Luc, originally billed as appearing for International Guitar Night, will NOT be performing due to unforeseen circumstances.
