SUMMARY:Fall Concert featuring Luca Stricagnoli
DESCRIPTION:World Renowned Musicians Perform Special Concert at the Beaufort Historic Site in Beaufort\, NC: Sep 20th at 7:30PM\nThe Beaufort Historic Site presents a Garden Concert featuring Luca Stricagnoli and special guest Meg Pfeiffer. Luca is a guitar virtuoso in a class of his own and one of the most acclaimed acoustic guitarists in the world. To witness Luca playing solo guitar\, or banjo\, or several guitars at the same time\, or his self-designed triple neck guitar is astonishing. He tours globally and is an internet sensation with over 200 million views on streaming platforms that showcase his signature “fingerstyle” arrangements of pop\, classical\, heavy metal\, soundtrack repertoire and original compositions. He will share the stage for several tunes with international\, multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Meg Pfeiffer. Similar to Luca\, Meg pushes the boundaries of genre. Her music has been described as a collision of folk\, pop rock\, and alternative but her expressive voice as an artist is what ultimately drives the creative work. It may come as no surprise that these two unique artists\, currently based in Nashville\, are married and partners in numerous music industry ventures. \n  \nThis garden concert setting is a rare\, intimate-sized venue for Luca and Meg that promises to be an extraordinary experience for music-lovers. Tickets include assigned seating within the event tent and complimentary wine\, beer and non-alcoholic beverages. Doors open at 7:00PM with the concert running 7:30PM-9:30PM including a 15-minute intermission. Best available seating will be assigned in the order in which tickets are purchased and confirmed through a Beaufort Historic Site representative. \n\n-PRICE ZONE 1 Sponsor Circle Seating: $300 (2 tickets in 1st or 2nd row) \n-PRICE ZONE 2 Seating: $75 per ticket (SOLD OUT) \n-PRICE ZONE 3 Seating: $55 per ticket \n WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO SELLING OUT.
