ABOUT DYNAMITE GUITARS 2009-2010

Welcome to the 30th season of San Francisco Bay Area guitar concerts!

Welcome to our 30th season of bringing the world’s finest guitarists to the San Francisco Bay area! This is a significant milestone for the Omni Foundation and the 2010-2011 season reflects the achievement. You will have the opportunity to hear the great classical players of our time, John Williams, Eliot Fisk, David Russell, Marcin Dylla, and Brazilian virtuoso Marco Pereira. We will sample the brilliant duos of the world, including the Paris Guitar Duo, the Beijing Guitar Duo, the Brasil Guitar Duo, the wonderful Spanish/Greek team, Duo Melos, and from Argentina, Seis Cuerdas. The renowned Los Angeles Guitar Quartet will complete our ensemble offerings. A rising star from France, Florian Larousse will offer our Member Bonus Concert.

We are thrilled to bring back the extraordinary guitarist Tommy Emmanuel for two nights at the Palace of Fine Arts. Tommy’s performances are always a highlight of the season and we are honored to be on his worldwide list of annual performances.

The Omni Foundation Guitar Series is widely recognized as one of the leading series for guitar in the world.
