Big Guitar Weekend

Our annual out-of-this-world celebration of the guitar returns!

Featuring a stellar lineup that includes Paul O’Dette, Tomasz Zawierucha, Graham Devine, Matthew Cochran and Matthew McAllister, and Allan Neave and the BGW Orchestra & Performers, this weekend celebrates the instrument’s wide-ranging appeal.

From dazzling Renaissance and Baroque virtuosity on the lute, to the space-and-time inspired Pale Blue Dot concert – which includes an arrangement of Hans Zimmer’s Interstellar soundtrack – experience the guitar’s rich and diverse qualities in a variety of events.
