9. Internationales Gitarrenfestival: Guitar & Beyond – Adam Ben Ezra und Andy McKee
Familiar instruments played in an unusual way: On the third night of the festival, two international artists will showcase their instruments, each of whom inspires enthusiasm and wonder around the world with their extraordinary virtuosity and innovative approach. Two string instruments that are, in the truest sense of the word, multifaceted…
Adam Ben Ezra: With breathtaking virtuosity, he redefines the sonic possibilities of the double bass. The Israeli multi-instrumentalist blends jazz, funk, and Mediterranean influences with live looping and electronic timbres to create a solo experience that is as powerful as it is captivating.
Andy McKee: He is one of the world’s most renowned acoustic guitarists. With his song “Drifting,” which has been celebrated by millions, he made fingerstyle history. Tours with Prince, Tommy Emmanuel, and Dream Theater, as well as his unmistakable blend of virtuosity, sonic imagination, and musical depth, have earned him a permanent place among the most influential guitarists of his generation.
This event is funded by the State of Saxony-Anhalt and the Unser Lieben Frauen Monastery Foundation, and supported by the State Capital of Magdeburg, regiocom, SWM, and MDCC.
