Pat Metheny: The Orchestrion Tour May 19, 2010

Co-Presented with Blues Alley

World renowned guitarist/composer Pat Metheny has won an extraordinary 17 Grammy Awards and been nominated more times than any other performer in Grammy history. Aside from all the critics’ awards and fan accolades, Pat's continues to break down musical barriers and the exploration of new ideas. In this tour, Pat moves from brilliant solo guitar improvisations to the unveiling of a totally new technology for the presentation of an acoustically driven "solo ensemble" music he is dubbing Orchestrionics - acoustic instruments which are mechanically controlled by Pat. The performance will feature music from the Metheny's upcoming CD of all new original compositions, as well as some older tunes from the Metheny songbook.
