  Friday 23 March 2012 8.30pm Booking No. 18 $32/$26 Mechanics Institute Doors Open: 7.45pm PIERRE BENSUSAN After becoming an instant hit with Australian audiences on his first tour in 2009, Pierre returns to Australia as part of a worldwide tour promoting his most recent release Vividly. Pierre Bensusan has long been acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic guitarists on the planet, a fearless improviser who constantly explores the depth of his own voice in a way that transcends his instrument. There is a sense of something both playful and serious in his work, an unparalleled sense of freedom in his compositions and improvisations, which continue to defy classification - crossing world, classical, jazz, traditional folk and more. Pierre's ground-breaking compositions and interpretations have also extended the use of various non standard guitar tunings in his work, his most famous being his experimentation with the tuning known as DADGAD. Pierre will also conduct a master class on his techniques and compositions. > Find out more: Website | Facebook DUCK MUSIQUE Duck Musique bring to the stage the wonderful music of gypsy swing, recreating the fiery brilliance of gypsy guitar player Django Reinhardt and violin maestro Stephan Grappelli.

The Manouche music of the European gypsies has spawned a whole diaspora of gypsy swing players and fans all around the world and Duck Musique represent the best of Australia's devotees. > Find out more: Facebook | MySpace Check out one of our other concerts:
