Please join us for an extraordinary evening with French-Algerian acoustic guitar virtuoso Pierre Bensusan as he makes a stop here in St. Louis as part of his 50th anniversary tour!
This master of DADGAD tuning has been captivating audiences for five decades with his unique blend of Celtic, folk, North African, and jazz influences. Born in Oran, Algeria, and raised in Paris, Bensusan won the Grand Prix du Disque at the Montreux Festival for his debut album at just 18 years old. He's been voted Best World Music Guitarist by Guitar Player Magazine readers and recognized as one of the greatest guitar players of the 21st century.
What sets Pierre apart isn't just his technical mastery - it's his ability to make a single guitar sound like an entire orchestra. His performances weave together intricate melodies with bilingual vocals and improvisational storytelling that transports audiences on a mesmerizing musical journey across cultures and continents.
If you’ve seen Pierre live before, you know just what a treat seeing him actually is, and if you haven’t seen him before, we highly encourage you to attend!
