Four virtuosic guitarists from around the world will be onstage in New Westminster later this month.

International Guitar Night is returning to the Massey Theatre stage for its 20th anniversary tour, Saturday, Jan. 25 at 7:30 p.m.

“For 20 years we have slowly built a loyal and ever-growing audience,” said founder Brian Gore in a press release. “Each tour offers an enthralling view of the burgeoning acoustic guitar renaissance. … Every year is the best year yet, and this year is even better.”

Gore has put together an eclectic lineup that includes British fingerstyle guitarist Mike Dawes, known for his two-hand contemporary style; Turkish guitarist Cenk Erdoğan, known for his fretless guitar improvisation; gypsy jazz virtuoso Olli Soikkeli from Finland; and Jim ‘Kimo’ West, a master of Hawaiian slack key guitar.

The four acoustic guitarists will offer up solos, duets and quartet performances.

Tickets are $40 regular, $30 for students and seniors, or $20 for those under 18. Buy through www.masseytheatre.com.
