Guitar virtuosity at Calvary Center

January 10, 2011

A quartet of amazing guitarists from all over the world are playing at the Calvary Center for Community and Culture (801 S. 48th St.) in West Philly on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.. Seriously, if you’re into guitar music (or music of any kind) these guys are going to knock your socks off. The guitarists include Clive Carroll from Great Britain, Alexandre Gismonti from Brazil, Italian Pino Forastiere and Brian Gore from the United States.

International Guitar Night” will feature solos, duets and quartets in an intimate setting. A unique part of the tour is the workshop that the guitarists put on. On Tuesday at 7:30 they will work with workshop participants on some of the techniques they will use during the concert the following day. The fee is only $10.

Crossroads Music is hosting both the show and the workshop. Tickets for both are available here.

Below is a clip of Pino Forastiere performing “Wild Parking.” It’s absolutely amazing what this guy can do with a guitar.
