John Schneider: The Well-Tempered Guitar

Join GRAMMY-winning guitarist and composer John Schneider for The Well-Tempered Guitar at the Sierra Madre Playhouse—a one-night-only performance that promises to push musical boundaries and delight the curious ear. Known for his mastery of both classical and experimental styles, Schneider takes the stage solo to perform a spellbinding selection of works by Lou Harrison, Harry Partch, Manuel Ponce, and more.

This isn’t your average guitar concert. Schneider performs on a range of modified and adapted instruments, including National Resophonic and electric guitars, showcasing unique tunings and temperaments rarely heard in traditional venues. Expect haunting tones and rich textures in pieces like Partch’s “December 1942,” Ponce’s “Suite in A,” and Schneider’s own meditative “Men are Men & Mountains are Mountains.”Whether you're a die-hard classical music enthusiast, a fan of musical innovation, or simply love an intimate evening of exceptional artistry, this concert will open your ears to an entirely new world of sound.
