International Guitar Night

The fourth International Guitar Night UK tour takes place in September-October 2010 (see current itinerary below) and comprises three highly talented, modern acoustic guitar stylists from quite different backgrounds. As you can see from the itinerary below we have several spaces to fill; do get in touch.


Brian Gore (http://www.guitarpoet.com/) from San Francisco, USA

“Brian Gore’s strong, well developed melodies and intriguing chord sequences set him apart from the myriad steel-string fingerstylists who compose in open tunings. His finely crafted poetic “songs without words” take the listener on a spellbinding emotional ride.”
Ron Forbes Roberts, Acoustic Guitar Magazine

Brian founded The International Guitar Night in 1995 as a forum for the world’s finest guitarists/composers to play their latest original songs and share musical ideas with their peers in public concert. This has evolved into critically acclaimed annual tours in the US (since 2000), Canada (2006) and the UK (2007).

Alexandre Gismonti (http://www.alexandregismonti.com/) from Brazil

"With his father, the legendary Egberto Gismonti, he has played in major theaters and festivals in Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Cuba, México, the Dominican Republic, Italy, Spain, Israel, Denmark, Portugal, and France."

"The son of Egberto is a young guitar virtuoso. Alexandre`s approach is very different from that of his father…he played with an amazing interpretive authority for his age of 20”. Brecha newspaper, Uruguay, July 2001

Pino Forastiere (http://www.forastiere.it/) from Rome, Italy

"It’s hard to find a CD for solo instrument that could be completely appreciated also by non-instrumentists: here is one."
Daniele Bergesio, World Music Magazine

The trio are very keen, as has been the case with earlier IGN tours, to provide day-time educational workshops in schools (primary and secondary) and colleges or universities wherever they can be fitted into the itinerary. In previous tours this aspect of IGN has proved to be very successful and I'd be very pleased to discuss this.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Cheers
