Presented by the Omni Foundation for the Performing Arts, this annual global showcase returns with a thrilling new lineup of acoustic masters whose artistry spans genres, traditions, and continents. This unforgettable evening brings together four extraordinary performers: Stephanie Jones, Taimane, Lucas Imbiriba, and Alexandr Misko, for one electrifying night of music.

Praised by SF Gate as “one of the most important showcases for contemporary finger-style guitarists,” International Guitar Night has become a must-see event for Bay Area audiences. Each year, it presents an entirely new roster of virtuosic talent, and this season’s artists promise an exhilarating blend of classical precision, fiery passion, and modern innovation.

She has toured extensively across the globe and was honored by YouTube with a “Silver Play Button Award” for her extraordinary reach and influence.

Taimane, hailed as Hawaii’s “empress of the ukulele,” brings a boundless artistic vision that merges her island roots with flamenco fire, classical lyricism, and rock and roll energy. With more than 50 million video views and nearly half a million online followers, she has become a global sensation. From Bach to Led Zeppelin, her performances are unforgettable celebrations of creativity and virtuosity.

Lucas Imbiriba ignites the stage with breathtaking performances that fuse the passion of flamenco, the rhythms of Latin America, the lyricism of classical music, and the power of rock. His spectacular style and commanding presence have captivated audiences worldwide.

Alexandr Misko, the Russian fingerstyle phenomenon, represents a new generation of guitar innovators. Famous for his viral arrangements of “Careless Whisper” and “Billie Jean,” Misko has gone from internet sensation to international touring artist, performing from sold-out halls across Europe to Carnegie Hall in New York. With six albums and millions of online fans, he is redefining the possibilities of the guitar.
