International Guitar Night Comes to the WYO in February

International Guitar Night, the world’s premier touring guitar festival, will make a stop at the WYO Performing Arts and Education Center Tuesday, February 6 at 7 p.m. 

Each show from International Guitar Night brings together some of the most interesting and innovative acoustic guitarists as they exchange musical ideas in a public concert. Each show highlights the dexterity and diversity within the world of acoustic guitar.

International Guitar Night began in 1995 as a forum for the world’s finest guitarists and composers. This year’s tour will feature Luca Stricagnoli, Thu Le, Marco Pereira and Minnie Marks. Stricagnoli, of Italy, is an acoustic rock interpreter, returning to the tour for the fourth time. Thu Le, of Vietnam, has artistry that stretches from classical to contemporary. Pereira, of Brazil, is a master composer and performer who toured with International Guitar Night in its early days and returns for his final go-round this year. Marks, an Australian, is an irrepressible blues slide guitarist and singer making her North American debut.

Tickets for the show are available through the WYO box office. The cost is $27 for adults, $24 for seniors and military members and $20 for students. To purchase tickets, see wyotheater.com, call 307-672-9084 or stop by the box office at 42 N. Main St.
