“A celebration of the instrument that virtuoso classical musician Andre Segovia described as "the easiest instrument to play, and the hardest to play well," the New York Guitar Festival has been championing emerging talent and supporting innovative collaborations since 1999. Over the course of three weeks, more than 35 guitarists, who strum across a range of musical styles, unite under the festival's banner. Highlights include a free galactic tribute to Brian Eno featuring Larry Campbell, Tortoise's Jeff Parker and Phish's Mike Gordon, an Alternative Guitar Summit with Nels Cline and Thurston Moore, an all-day guitar marathon, and Silent Films/Live Guitars, a program in which 11 silent films by Buster Keaton are accompanied by original scores performed live by the likes of Califone, Buke and Gase, Dan Zanes, Kaki King, My Brightest Diamond and Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo.”
