Al Di Meola: Sydney Headline Show

Enjoy a performance by bona fide guitar legend and perennial music poll winner Al Di Meola, one of the most acclaimed guitarists of our time.

"I am very excited to finally be back in Australia! We will be playing new music, some renditions of the Beatles and pieces by the late great Tango master Astor Piazzolla. We will see you down under!" – Al Di Meola

A prolific composer and prodigious six-string talent, Di Meola has amassed over 20 albums as a leader while collaborating on a dozen or so others with the likes of the fusion supergroup Return to Forever (with Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, and Lenny White), the celebrated acoustic guitar trio featuring fellow virtuosos John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia, and the Rite of Strings trio with bassist Clarke and violinist Jean-Luc Ponty.

While his dazzling technique on both acoustic and electric guitars has afforded Di Meola regal status among the hordes of fretboard aficionados who regularly flock to his concerts, the depth of Di Meola's writing, along with the soulfulness and his inherent lyricism of his guitarist expression, have won him legions of fans worldwide.
