Classical Guitar Comes to Guild Hall

Guild Hall and D’Addario present “A World-Class Evening of Classical Guitar” on Saturday, September 28, at 7 p.m. Legends of classical guitar will be joined by the next generation of icons in an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of New York’s own musical icon, the D’Addario Company. Hailing from Brazil, Spain, China and the U.S., these remarkable artists have redefined the art of classical guitar.

Paco Peña is the world’s foremost flamenco artist, galvanizing audiences for decades, across every continent. Badi Assad brings her own virtuoso style to the instrument as a singer, composer and guitarist. Benjamin Verdery has graced every major concert hall in the world and is celebrated for his unique eclecticism and iconoclastic performance style. These artists will share the stage with a new breed of iconic guitarists. Xuefei Yang, considered one of the top classical guitarists of our time, is also a trailblazer as the first internationally recognized Chinese guitarist on the global stage. Jack and Elle Davisson, aka the Davisson Duo, are a brother-sister team who are helping to redefine the instrument with a unique blend of exceptional artistry and meticulous technique that has catapulted these American teens to international acclaim.

“A World-Class Evening of Classical Guitar” is co-envisioned by Guild Hall’s board chair Marty Cohen and D’Addario’s chairman Jim D’Addario. Tickets are $75 to $136 at guildhall.org. Guild Hall is at 158 Main Street, East Hampton.
