About this event
French-Algerian acoustic guitar virtuoso, vocalist and composer Pierre Bensusan has taken his unique sound to all corners of the globe. And now, he is returning to Sedona on his “The Infinite Guitar” world tour Sunday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival. French acoustic guitar virtuoso, vocalist, and composer Pierre Bensusan has taken his unique sound to all corners of the globe.

And it’s not just guitarists who are so inspired by Pierre’s music, as a recent studio collaboration with him on Donny Osmond’s latest album “Start Again” goes to show.

A pianist in his beginnings, then self-taught on the guitar, the originality of his style makes him one of today’s greatest guitarists and composers for the instrument. His story is far from trivial, and it is on stage that this artist has earned his stripes: among others, the Rose d’Or of the Montreux Festival, and being elected Best Guitarist of World Music by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine! His triple album “Encore” won the Grand Prix at the Independent Music Awards in the Best Live…
