International Guitar Night is North America’s premier traveling guitar festival, bringing together the world’s foremost acoustic guitarists to perform their latest original compositions and exchange musical ideas in a public concert setting.
This guitar festival comes to Kent’s Spotlight Series at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 29 at the Kent-Meridian Performing Arts Center, 10020 SE 256th St.
Brian Gore founded International Guitar Night in 1995. Each tour he invites a new cast of guitar luminaries to join him for an evening of solos, duets, and quartets that highlight the virtuosity and diversity within the world of acoustic guitar.
On this tour, Gore will be joined by three of Europe’s leading acoustic guitarists: Gypsy Jazz legend Lulo Reinhardt, contemporary finger-style innovator Mike Dawes, and multi-genre showman Andre Krengel.
