For the first time ever, Centre In The Square is thrilled to welcome world-renowned guitarist and composer Pat Metheny to its stage this November. With an astonishing career spanning nearly 50 years, Metheny is a 20-time Grammy Award winner and the only musician to have won in an unprecedented 10 categories. His accolades also include three gold albums, marking him as one of the most celebrated figures in jazz and contemporary music.
Pat Metheny’s performance promises to be a one-of-a-kind musical experience. With more than a dozen guitars at his side, he will present compositions from across his storied career, including selections from his latest albums, Dream Box and MoonDial. Fans can also expect a unique personal touch as Metheny shares engaging and entertaining stories from his life and musical journey, adding another layer of depth to an already extraordinary evening.
Reflecting on one of Metheny’s recent performances, Warren Cobb of Jazz Guitar Life Magazine shared, “It honestly was mind-blowing. I don’t know of too many guitar players worldwide that can totally captivate an audience for over two hours and elicit hooping, hollering, and multiple standing ovations.”
At a time when many performance halls around the world are closing their doors due to economic challenges, we are fortunate here in Kitchener to have the ability to book and experience world-class artists like Pat Metheny right in our own backyard.
“This is a rare opportunity for our community to witness an artist of Pat Metheny's caliber. His ability to connect with audiences through his music and storytelling makes this performance particularly special,” said Eric Lariviere, Executive Director of Centre In The Square. “We’re incredibly excited to bring him to our stage for the first time, and we know it’s going to be a memorable night.”
This intimate concert offers music lovers the chance to witness a truly legendary artist up close and personal. Metheny’s ability to transcend genre boundaries has earned him a global following, and this rare performance at Centre In The Square is not to be missed.
