International Guitar Night Brings World-Class Virtuosity to JLLPAC on Valentine’s Day

The Jim & Linda Lee Performing Arts Center presents an unforgettable Valentine’s celebration when the globally acclaimed International Guitar Night takes the stage on Friday, February 14 at 7 PM.

Now in its 26th year, International Guitar Night is North America’s longest-running mobile guitar festival, uniting master musicians from around the world in a dazzling, genre-defying concert experience. This all-star edition showcases four extraordinary artists, each with a distinct cultural voice and signature style: classical virtuoso Thu Le (Vietnam), Brazilian sensation Lucas Imbiriba, Russian fingerstyle innovator Alexandr Misko, and groundbreaking ukulele maestro Taimane (Hawaii).

From intimate solo moments to breathtaking ensemble collaborations, the evening reveals the limitless expressive power of the guitar and ukulele – through fiery technique, cinematic originals, global influences, and once-in-a-lifetime musical pairings. Over more than two decades of touring, International Guitar Night has earned standing ovations across the globe, and its 2026 program promises one of its most thrilling seasons yet.
