International Guitar Night, the world’s premier touring guitar festival, returns to Massey Theatre with an unforgettable lineup of four extraordinary Canadian guitarists on February 1, 2026.

Metro Vancouver guitar lovers will experience an evening of dazzling virtuosity, diverse musical traditions, and intimate storytelling. This year’s all-Canadian tour features Itamar Erez, Jocelyn Gould, Jamie Dupuis, and Caroline Planté.

Erez is an internationally acclaimed classical and flamenco guitarist who fuses Middle Eastern delicacy, jazz improvisation, and other world music influences. Juno Award–winning jazz guitarist and vocalist Gould, meanwhile, is known for her soulful tone, modern bebop phrasing, and charismatic presence.

Dupuis is celebrated for his masterful fingerstyle technique and his innovation on the harp guitar; his viral 2016 cover of Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” earned over 19 million views. And Planté is one of the world’s most prominent female flamenco guitarists and a pioneering voice in contemporary composition.

Tickets and more details are available through Massey Theatre.
