The 25th annual North American tour of International Guitar Night celebrates four guitar masters from around the globe. They combine their talents and guitar stylings into an afternoon of performances spanning the spectrum of artistry.
The Del E. Webb Center for the Performing Arts, 1090 S. Vulture Mine Road, will host the group 3:30 p.m. Sunday, March 23.
The lineup features Germany-based guitarist Lulo Reinhardt. Hailing from the renowned Reinhardt family as the grand-nephew of Django, Reinhardt is known for his Latin swing style deeply rooted in the Sinti tradition. From his early years playing in bands with his father, brothers and cousins and his own Latin Swing Project, Lulo Reinhardt’s journey is an exploration of his Sinti identity, an ethnic minority group of Romani people, as well as encounters with other cultures.
With a repertoire including contemporary and classic works, classical guitarist Alexandra Whittingham combines phenomenal technique with a creative spirit that challenges convention. Her debut album, “My European Journey,” topped charts by spotlighting lesser-known composers of the nineteenth century with her musical passion and virtuosity.
Niwel Tsumbu, a Congolese-born guitarist and singer based in Ireland, writes compositions that blend Latin and African rhythms with jazz and classical influences. Tsumbu is known for his original percussive style and his Grammy-winning collaborations with global icons like Rhiannon Giddens and the Silk Road Ensemble. His fluidity across genres solidifies his place as a musical trailblazer, promising an unforgettable performance.
Germany’s Sönke Meinen has earned respect in the contemporary fingerstyle guitar world for solo guitar works that turn folk, classical, pop and jazz influences into a diverse musical journey. From guitar displays to soul-stirring ballads, Meinen songs awaken the imagination to the infinite possibilities offered by the acoustic guitar.
