“…one of the greatest guitar players on the planet…” The Guardian, UK

Guitar. Pat Metheny. The two are inextricably linked. And so it will be in this one-night-only concert that’s not to be missed for all Metheny fans and guitar music lovers alike.

Since 1974, guitarist Pat Metheny set the international jazz scene aflame with his improvisational virtuosity, and re-defined the genre with new technology and sheer imagination. His versatility as a musician is unparalleled and his genius celebrated with 16 Grammy Awards.

Distinctive in his own style, he has shared the stage with musician as diverse as Steve Reich, Herbie Hancock, Milton Nascimento and David Bowie. As a composer, he has written works for solo guitar and even large orchestras with arrangements ranging from modern jazz and rock to Classical.

Metheny’s reputation precedes him and audiences will find he lives every bit up to it in this concert where he performs with acclaimed bassist, Christian McBride and drummer Antonio Sanchez.
