Celebrate International Guitar Month with the perfect guitarist, Claude Bourbon, who comes to California Saturday, April 28 at 8:00 PM in Beckman Institute Auditorium ("Little Beckman").  Claude, a world class guitarist, is Swiss, was born in France, and now makes his home in England.  He regularly tours the U.S, so he definitely fits the "international" label.  Click on his original composition, Lawrence Gibson, and if the device you are reading this on allows it, come back and read our brief description as you listen.  Tour a wide range of musical traditions with Claude, including blues, classical, Spanish, Middle Eastern and more.  Claude’s inimitable style incorporates all five digits on each hand, dancing independently but in unison, plucking, picking and strumming at such speed and precision that his fingers often seem to melt into a blur.  Hear a bit of his singing (and whistling) on C'est Dimanche.   The BBC wrote that he, “offers tender, compelling performance through highly developed precision. His sound instantly creates ambiance – from haunting Spanish moods to lyrical, romantic jazz."   Claude Bourbon provides ... a rich evening of music for lovers.”  Claude will be making his debut in our series and we hope you will join us!  

Tickets for this show are $20 for adults, $5 for children and Caltech students.  You can purchase tickets at the Caltech Ticket Office, 1200 E. California Blvd (southeast corner of Wilson Avenue and California Blvd)  between 10AM and 4:30 PM Monday- Friday, or by phone with a service charge at (626) 395-4652.   You can buy them online (also with a fee) here.  If you haven't been to one of our shows for awhile, since the parking locations changed a bit, read the 4th paragraph on our web page here.
