Antonio Forcione: Sketches of the World
Assembly Rooms - Drawing Room
Show Time 18:35

Multi-award winning guitarist-composer Antonio Forcione is returning at the Edinburgh Fringe with his spellbinding Solo guitar show "Sketches of the world" in summer 2025.
"Sketches of the world" is inspired by 4 decades of touring around the globe - from Europe to Africa, Brazil, India, Japan, Australia, etc. - showcasing Antonio’s
compositions and unique style, evoking a joyous, spiritually beguiling, homage to the world.


Antonio Forcione

With a host of international awards under his belt and 21 albums released to date, this eclectic composer never ceases to stun his audience on stage, leading him to be referred to as the "Jimie Hendrix of the acoustic guitar”.
He breaks the mould of most conventional guitar sounds, be it in the field of jazz, Spanish, Soul, African, Brazilian or improvised music, with a ferocious virtuosity, passion and humour. He has shared the stage and recorded with some of the world’s most accomplished musicans including Charlie Haden, Angelique Kidjo, Sarah Jane Morris, Trilok Gurtu, Larry Coryell, Domenic Miller, Diego el Cigala and many more as well as supporting giants such as Phil Collins, Bobby McFerrin, Pino Daniele Zucchero, and Van Morrison amongst others.

“One of the greatest Acoustic Guitarists...“ (The Guardian)
Few acoustic guitarists can match Antonio Forcione for sheer instrumental virtuosity but fewer stillcome close to him as a composer.
