Don Ross with Julie Malia

PRESENTED BY KEY CITY THEATRE

Two world-class guitarists unite for an extraordinary evening of virtuosic fingerstyle playing, original songs and breathtaking musical chemistry.

Canadian guitar legend Don Ross and acclaimed German guitarist, singer and songwriter Julie Malía come together in an exceptional international collaboration.

Don Ross is one of the most influential fingerstyle guitarists of his generation, and the only person to win the prestigious U.S. National Fingerpick Guitar Championship twice.

His unmistakable style combines intricate melodies, powerful grooves and percussive techniques to create music that can sound like an entire band emerging from a single guitar.

Julie Malía is one of Europe’s most sought-after acoustic guitarists.

Moving effortlessly between classical guitar, modern fingerstyle and original songwriting, she pairs remarkable technical command with an expressive voice and an instinct for musical storytelling.

Since joining forces in 2023, Ross and Malía have performed more than 100 concerts across Canada, the United States and Europe.

Their concert features solo performances from each artist alongside imaginative arrangements and collaborations that reveal their remarkable musical connection.

Technically dazzling, emotionally expressive and full of warmth, this is acoustic guitar at its most expansive.
