The Guitarchitect Tour – Music, Multimedia & Tales
Acclaimed Grammy Award-winning guitarist and composer Al Di Meola is a pioneering figure in jazz fusion and world music. He is universally recognized for his technical mastery, cross-picked arpeggios, and sophisticated blend of Latin, flamenco, and jazz.
Di Meola’s career skyrocketed at age 19 when keyboardist Chick Corea invited him to join the fusion supergroup Return to Forever. During his time with the band, they won a Grammy Award for their album No Mystery. He launched his solo career in 1976 with his debut album Land of the Midnight Sun, which was followed by his highly influential masterpiece, Elegant Gypsy.
Di Meola returns with his acoustic band and the program “The Guitarchitect,” a refined concert experience that unites five decades of music, sweeping multimedia visuals, and the stories that shaped a lifetime of artistry.
Special guest Ardeshir Farah is a guitarist and a pioneer of world fusion music. He’s best known for his work with the Grammy-nominated duo Strunz & Farah, which blends Latin, jazz, Middle Eastern, and classical influences. Farah is credited with being the first to incorporate Middle Eastern sounds into modern guitar.
This tour is a celebration of legacy, innovation, and the evolution of the Di Meola sound – performed with the unmistakable precision and passion that have defined his world-renowned career.
Join us for an evening that honors the past, embraces the present, and looks toward the future.
